As part of its commitment to youth development, Stanbic IBTC Holdings PLC, a member of Standard Bank, has concluded plans to sponsor Africa NXT, formerly known as Social Media Week.

In recent years, experts and youths in the business, creative and tech spaces across Africa and the diaspora had convened to hold discussions on various topics related to youth development at the week-long annual event. This year, the event is slated to take place from 27 February to 04 March 2022.

The 2022 edition of the event is themed “The Next 10 Years: Reimagining Our Collective Commitment to Africa’s Prosperity”, with a particular focus on collaboration to achieve progress in tech and business for Africa’s prosperity.

The financial institution will introduce its newly launched Artificial Intelligence robotics, Stanbic IBTC Pepper, a fully programmed robotic companion that engenders quality human interaction in banking experiences for clients and customers during the event.

Speaking about the event, Wole Adeniyi, Chief Executive, Stanbic IBTC Bank, said the event would serve as an opportunity to connect with the youth. He said, “Stanbic IBTC is passionate about youth development and innovation.
