Global Brain is pleased to announce that it has decided to launch its first Africa-focused event the Alliance for Market Acceleration in Africa (AMA). The event will be held on Friday, August 22, 2025 at Tokyo Midtown, with registration open until Monday, August 18. AMA is organized as an **official partner project of TICAD 9** and will bring together Japanese corporations, African startups, investors, and public and private sector stakeholders. Through direct insights from entrepreneurs and market experts working on the ground, the event aims to explore the current realities and immense business potential of Africa’s rapidly transforming markets. Africa is one of the fastest-growing regions in the world, with fintech and mobile services driving unprecedented industrial acceleration. At the same time, regulatory, infrastructure, and institutional gaps remain challenges that require innovative, long-term partnerships to overcome. Global Brain believes that Japanese companies are uniquely positioned to become key partners in Africa’s transformation, seeking to build new networks, highlight practical opportunities, and foster collaboration between Japanese and African innovators through AMA. Global Brain welcomes the participation of all who are ready to take bold steps into Africa’s frontier markets. ■Event Overview
