GeezerVison is showing www.mwckigali.com — MWC Kigali 2026 | 16-18 June 2026, Kigali

GLOMO Africa Awards

The inaugural GLOMO Africa Awards brought the mobile industry's most prestigious awards programme to Africa for the first time.

More than 125 submissions were reviewed by an independent panel of industry experts, looking for outstanding innovation in two categories: Digital Innovation for Africa's Real Economy and Closing the Mobile Internet Usage Gap in Africa. 

Congratulations to the shortlisted nominees, they represent some of the most impactful digital innovations shaping Africa's future, but there can only be two winners - watch Justin Springham of MWL and our head GLOMO judge, Shaun Collins of CCS Insight, to find out why Irembo and CheckMe are such deserving winners.
