Register now: Towards a greener ICT value chain – dialogue for Europe and Africa
As digitalisation accelerates across Africa, how do we ensure the environmental impact of the ICT value chain is considered, from product design, use, reuse and end of life management? On 24 September in Nairobi, Kenya, join the conversation and contribute to shaping a sustainable digital future for Africa.
On 24 September 2026 in Nairobi, Kenya, ECOS will convene African and European stakeholders for a dialogue on best approaches to advancing greener digitalisation.
