WORLDEX Digital Women 100 Gala Dinner
The WORLDEX Digital Women 100 Gala Dinner is designed to honour and celebrate the 100 most influential tech women in Africa annually. Our objective is to use the event to advocate strongly for girl-child education in general across Africa, paying attention as well to their warm embrace of STEM subjects: science, technology, engineering and maths. For the inaugural 2024 edition, we shall focus only on Nigeria, expanding the list gradually until the rest of the continent is covered in 2028. The nominees for this list will be drawn from the private sector, government, academia, and the advocacy community. Our searchlight is on qualified, experienced and inspirational leaders in these groups. In 2025, WORLDEX Digital Women 100 List will cover English-speaking West Africa. In 2026, it will be extended to the whole of English-speaking Africa. In 2027, French-speaking Africa will be added to it. In 2028, the entire continent would be covered in the list. The annual Digital Women 100 List is selected and compiled by the editorial team of REVENUE magazine and the publication’s Project Advisory Board (PAB). The 2024 List is expected to be presented in the 4th quarter of 2023.

WORLDEX Africa Telecom 50 Awards
The WORLDEX Africa Telecom 50 Awards is a recognition award for each of the 50 largest mobile network operators (MNOs) in Africa ranked by mobile subscriptions. Our objective is to showcase these companies which are often the largest tech company of any kind in their respective countries. In some cases they are also the largest company of any kind in such countries. Beyond their regular business, Africa’s top MNOs have helped to transform and grow their tech ecosystems over the past three decades. The ranking is produced from available data and literature online about the MNOs in each of the major countries of Africa. The compilation is done by the editorial team of REVENUE magazine. The winner is expected to be announced in the 4th quarter of 2023.
