George Spencer Quaye: Building Africa’s digital legacy through MOBEX

Technology
MOBEX 25

Every great movement begins with an idea — but few have the vision, courage, and conviction to turn that idea into a legacy. For George Spencer Quaye, Chief Executive Officer of MOBEX Africa, the past decade has been a journey of transforming vision into impact and conversations into continental change.

What began as a platform to spark dialogue in Africa’s emerging technology space has evolved into one of the continent’s most influential gatherings for digital innovation, policy, and creativity.

Under George’s leadership, MOBEX Africa has become a hub for collaboration — bringing together innovators, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and thought leaders to shape Africa’s digital destiny.

“At its core, MOBEX has always been about ownership of Africa’s narrative,” Quaye has often emphasised.

“Africa’s story must be told by Africa itself.”

Over the years, MOBEX Africa has consistently pushed boundaries — from showcasing homegrown innovations to fostering conversations on cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, fintech, and creative technology.

The platform has also served as a bridge between governments and private sector players, driving meaningful partnerships aimed at digital inclusion and economic empowerment.

As MOBEX Africa 2025 approaches today at Kempriski Gold Coast Hotel, anticipation is building across the continent.

This year’s event is expected to deepen conversations around Africa’s readiness for the global digital economy and explore how technology can be harnessed to solve local challenges sustainably.

For George Spencer Quaye, however, the mission goes beyond technology.

His enduring message is that progress is not only built on code or policy — it is built on people, purpose, and possibility.

 

Through MOBEX, he continues to inspire a generation of African thinkers and doers to innovate boldly, collaborate widely, and tell their own stories with pride and precision.
