In 2020, during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, the Government of Rwanda signed an agreement with the Forum to establish C4IR Rwanda.

Part of a network of 19 centres globally, C4IR Rwanda is shaping the trajectory of the Fourth Industrial Revolution with local knowledge that can empower global change.

Informed by national development priorities, Rwanda has decided to focus its Centre’s work on data governance and artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Shaping the future of technology governance

The unprecedented speed and scale of technological innovation is putting enormous pressure on regulatory environments around the world.

There is an urgent need for faster, more agile approaches to governing emerging technologies and the business models they enable.

C4IR Rwanda works with stakeholders around the world to design and pilot new approaches to technology governance that foster innovation in an inclusive and responsible manner.

The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) in Rwanda stands as an innovative nexus where groundbreaking technologies intersect with societal progress.
