Proxima Tech Solutions at AIM Congress Abu Dhabi – Driving Africa’s Digital Future

We are proud to announce that Mr. Tahir Gozel, Founder and President of Proxima Tech Solutions, participated as a panelist at the AfCFTA Session during the prestigious AIM Congress in Abu Dhabi.

Session Title: Strategic Investments in Digital Public Infrastructure: Advancing Regional Economic Integration and Cross-Border FDI in Africa
In partnership with AfCFTA

During this high-level session, Mr. Gozel shared insights on the role of digital public infrastructure—including broadband networks, data centers, and fintech solutions—in unlocking Africa’s economic potential and advancing cross-border trade.

Key themes discussed:

• The importance of seamless digital connectivity for regional integration

• Encouraging foreign direct investment (FDI) through predictable regulatory frameworks

• The role of public-private partnerships in accelerating Africa’s digital transformation

• Creating a single continental digital market under the AfCFTA Protocol on Digital Trade

With internet penetration still below 43% across the continent, strategic investments are urgently needed to ensure Africa’s inclusive participation in the global digital economy. Mr. Gozel emphasized Proxima Tech Solutions’s commitment to being an active contributor to this transformation by leveraging innovative technologies and international partnerships.

The session also featured thought leaders from AfCFTA, Co-Develop, and digital trade experts focused on mobilizing actionable solutions for Africa’s digital future.
