AI is estimated to contribute $1.2 trillion to Africa's economy by 2030.

Let’s make sure it happens!

The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Rwanda, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, is proud to host the inaugural Global AI Summit on Africa under the theme: “AI and Africa's Demographic Dividend: Reimagining Economic Opportunities for Africa's Workforce"

Home to the largest and fastest-growing workforce in the world, Africa is poised to play a consequential role in the global AI ecosystem. Maximising AI’s tremendous benefits and mitigating its inherent risks will require multi-stakeholder engagement and inclusive dialogue.

We warmly invite you to join us in pioneering new approaches and forging transformative partnerships to harness AI for Africa's growth and prosperity.
