Kenya is set to host the inaugural Africa Artificial Intelligence Conference (AIPAC 2025), marking the first-ever Pan-African summit dedicated solely to Artificial Intelligence.
Scheduled for August 25–28 in Mombasa, the four-day event will spotlight Kenya as a strategic leader in Africa’s AI transformation.
“This is more than a conference , it’s a platform to shape Africa’s AI future and open global doors for Kenyan ingenuity,” said Harun Katusya, Director and Chairman of the AIPAC 2025 Secretariat.
AIPAC 2025 is set to bring together over 1,500 participants including business leaders, policymakers, innovators, scholars, and researchers from across Africa and beyond.
The conference will serve as a dynamic platform to co-create national AI strategies, shape ethical AI frameworks, unlock investment pipelines, and celebrate African innovation.
Key highlights include
Investor-startup matchmaking to accelerate funding into AI enterprises. Policy forums to develop actionable recommendations and ethical guidelines.
Public-private partnerships focused on AI deployment in key sectors. Cross-border talent development pacts and access to global R&D networks.
The conference will feature deep dives into AI applications in EduTech, HealthTech, AgriTech, ClimaTech, GovTech, FinTech, TradeTech, and InduTech, showcasing the transformative potential of AI across critical sectors.
AIPAC 2025 is expected to not only cement Kenya’s status as a leading AI hub in Africa but also provide a platform for the continent to influence global AI discourse and standards.
