With new advances in artificial intelligence across all fields, African countries need to establish a foundational context to promote the application of artificial intelligence in digital transformation. Digital industrialization, through the development of startups in Africa, will provide well-adapted solutions to address real problems in priority areas. Research in artificial intelligence that delivers relevant results will contribute to the development of digital innovations within these startups.

This conference will focus on the exchange and sharing of knowledge among the private and public sectors, academia, industries, startups, scientists, governments, and students, in order to accelerate, facilitate, and strengthen the application of artificial intelligence in society.
