Founded in 2019, PricePally built its name offering group-buying deals for essentials like tomatoes and rice. By 2021, it had expanded into B2B procurement for restaurants and hotels, and by 2023, this segment accounted for a quarter of its revenue. But as Nigeria’s economy dived, that revenue stream dwindled to just 10% in 2024.
Backed by the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, the revamped board includes figures from diverse sectors. Among them are Rabi’a Adamu Waziri of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund, Abubakar Abdulqadir Maje from Joint Stock Association, and Kemi Owonubi from the Ministry of Finance Incorporated.
Held under the authority of Morocco’s Ministry of Digital Transition and Administration Reform, the three-day gathering is organised by KAOUN International — the overseas events arm of Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).
The gathering aimed to cultivate a collaborative tech ecosystem while enhancing Africa’s competitive stance in emerging digital sectors. According to the EUACC, this initiative is more than just a two-day meeting—it’s part of a longer-term push to place Africa at the forefront of blockchain and AI-led innovation.
