The Africa Tech Festival 2025, held from November 11–13 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), brought together more than 15,000 innovators, tech leaders, investors, and policymakers to discuss one big question — what does Africa’s digital future look like?

Now in its 28th edition, the festival featured over 450 expert speakers and 300 exhibitors, making it the continent’s largest and most influential technology and telecom event. Amid global brands and rising startups, Streamline Health proudly represented Uganda as one of the few health tech companies showcasing homegrown digital innovation aimed at transforming Africa’s healthcare systems.

Leading the Digital Health Revolution

Represented by our CEO, Mugisha Samuel, Streamline Health joined leading voices at the Africa Tech Festival to explore how technology can accelerate Africa’s progress toward universal health coverage, responsible innovation, and inclusive digital ecosystems.

While the event covered sectors from fintech to connectivity, Streamline Health stood out for its mission-driven approach — using technology to build an integrated health facility ecosystem delivering excellent patient outcomes.

Why Digital Innovation Matters for Africa’s Healthcare Sector

Africa’s healthcare systems are under growing pressure: limited resources, manual hospital operations, and slow data exchange continue to affect both efficiency and patient care. The Africa Tech Festival emphasized that connectivity and innovation are the foundation for solving these challenges — and healthcare must be at the center of this transformation.

This is precisely where Streamline Health is making an impact.
Through our suite of digital health solutions — including:

• StreamlineEMR – simplifying patient record management for better care coordination,
• StreamlinePAY – enabling cashless, transparent hospital payments,
• StreamlineSNAP – using AI to analyze anonymized clinical data for epidemic tracking,
• StreamlineUBUNTU – driving access to healthcare through community-based insurance, and
• StreamlineMYAPP – empowering patients to manage their health data anytime, anywhere —

we are building the digital backbone that connects hospitals, patients, and governments in a unified health ecosystem.
