The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Rwanda, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum , will host the Global AI Summit on Africa bringing together 1,000 participants, including distinguished government and business leaders, along with experts from academia and civil society, to engage in an in-depth and collaborative dialogue on AI’s transformative role in shaping Africa’s future.

The theme, “AI and Africa’s Demographic Dividend: Reimagining Economic Opportunities for Africa’s Workforce," underscores the urgency of leveraging AI to bolster the productivity of its youthful workforce, unlock new economic opportunities, and foster inclusive growth on the African continent.

Home to the largest and fastest-growing workforce in the world, Africa is poised to play a consequential role in shaping the global AI agenda. Maximising the benefits, and mitigating the risks, will require multi-stakeholder engagement and inclusive dialogue. This summit aims to advance an ambitious vision for Africa’s leadership in the age of AI.

During the summit, practical insights will be shared, collaboration will be encouraged, and innovative AI applications will be showcased. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with cutting-edge technologies and chart an actionable roadmap for the continent. The objective is to translate discussions into tangible actions that can bring about real-world impact, benefiting Africa’s industries, economies, and societies.
