The video game industry in Africa continues to grow with each passing year.
This field is no longer just a source of entertainment—it is evolving into a cultural movement and a powerful economic force.
One of the clearest examples of this growth is the Gaming Tech Summit Africa 2025, which kicked off this week in Nairobi.
The event has brought together regulators, investors, fintech leaders, and developers under one roof. The five-day summit, which runs until June 6, is organized by Velex Advisory.
Workshops and panels at the summit are focusing on key issues such as creating employment through game development, integrating gamified learning, and advancing the ethical uses of artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies.
GTSA 2025 has also given a boost to the city’s economy and tourism. Furthermore, the participation of over 25 international delegations highlights the summit’s potential to create a sustainable, long-term impact.
