Africa’s Premier AI Conference — Agentic AI Summit (24-27 November 2025)

Africa is at a pivotal inflection point in the adoption and governance of artificial intelligence. The decisions made now will determine whether the continent is a rule-follower in global AI, or a rule-shaper. The “agentic” AI paradigm (systems that act, decide and adapt with autonomy) presents both vast opportunity and unique risk for Africa — from health to agriculture, from governance to infrastructure. Africa AI Conference+1
APAIC2025 brings together policymakers, industry leaders, investors, researchers and practitioners in one place to define the frameworks, investments and human-capital strategies that will build Africa’s AI future. Africa AI Conference+1

• Forge continental governance frameworks and policies for agentic AI that advance African priorities (digital sovereignty, inclusive innovation, data governance). Africa AI Conference+1
• Mobilise investment and infrastructure to support AI ecosystems across Africa (start-ups, innovation clusters, connectivity, compute). Africa AI Conference
• Build a scalable workforce and ecosystem of skills to enable Africa to participate in and lead the agentic AI era. Africa AI Conference
• Showcase African-led innovation — real-world deployments in agriculture, health, education, governance — to move from concept to action. Africa AI Conference

• Day 4: Infrastructure, Investment & Execution — Data centres, cloud/edge computing, investment compacts, partnership signings. Africa AI Conference

• Adoption of a continental declaration on Agentic AI (e.g., the “Mombasa Declaration”) that sets guiding ethics and governance for Africa. Africa AI Conference+1
• Formation of a multi-million-dollar investment commitment (the “Arusha Compact”) directed to African AI innovation, infrastructure and talent. Africa AI Conference+1
• Launch of a continent-wide AI literacy and capacity-building programme (The Dawn Directive) to scale skills across nations. Africa AI Conference

• Government ministers, regulators and national ICT/AI strategy leads
• AI industry leaders, technology companies, infrastructure providers
• Venture capital/DFIs/impact investors targeting African innovation
• University/academic researchers, innovation hub managers
• Start-ups and scale-ups deploying AI across sectors

Participants will not just observe the future of AI in Africa — they’ll co-create it. Whether you shape policy, invest capital, build solutions or train talent, this is the platform where Africa’s AI agenda is being defined.
