Welcome to Rwanda Tech & BPO Summit 2024 !

The global outsourcing sector (“Global Business Services - GBS”) is of crucial importance to Rwanda. Recognizing its immense potential to create decent jobs at scale, the government has determined it a key priority and strongly supported it since 2018. While the sector was virtually non-existent in Rwanda back then, the government worked tirelessly with global GBS operators and sector experts to build a strong value proposition around quality of service, ease of doing business and competitive costs. Today, Rwanda has solidified its position as an emerging GBS hub in Africa and hosts more than 25 GBS companies, employing over 2,500 Rwandans.

Within the framework of the Special Initiative “Decent Work for a Just Transition” of the German Federal Ministry for Economic cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has been supporting the sector since 2020. The support includes employee readiness trainings, industry conferences and a recently concluded partnership with Harambee Youth Accelerator, the Rwandan Government and the private sector to create the GBS Growth Initiative.

Invest in Rwanda: GERMAN-RWANDAN IT & BUSINESS SERVICES SUMMIT & BPO Summit 2024 !

Capitalizing on the German-Rwandan Bilateral Government Negotiations, which take place in Berlin in June 2024, Invest in Rwanda:German-Rwandan IT & Business Services Summit will take place on 5th June 2024 in Berlin, Germany. It will be supported by three subsequent satellite events taking place in Hamburg, Darmstadt, and Munich from the 7th to the 11th June 2024.

The summit brings together industry leaders, investors, and key stakeholders from Rwanda, Germany, and Europe. It offers German and European outsourcing operators and clients a unique opportunity to learn more about the outsourcing ecosystem in Rwanda and to explore potential investments and partnerships. They will be able to connect with GBS operators already active in Rwanda, directly interact with Rwandan talent, and meet with government officials, training providers and other key stakeholders.

The ultimate objective of the summit is to secure new clients for Rwandan outsourcing providers and facilitate new investments by operators into Rwanda.
