ABOUT EVENT
Executive Summary
Zanziblock is an initiative of the Government of Zanzibar. It signals Zanzibar’s ambition to evolve from being known primarily as a global hub for tourism and trade into a recognised center for digital innovation in Africa.
With government leadership, an enabling policy framework, and a climate that attracts both investors and digital nomads, Zanzibar is opening its doors to developers, entrepreneurs, regulators, and innovators who are shaping the continent’s digital future.
Zanziblock 2026 is more than a conference. It is a living experience that combines residency training, a hackathon, a high-level summit, and a cultural festival.
