✨ AFRICA CONN3CT is a community built for real conversations at the intersection of Web3, finance and emerging technology. What started as CAPE CONN3CT in Cape Town has grown into something bigger, a platform connecting founders, builders, investors, regulators and institutional voices across South Africa (and hopefully, beyond).
