Kenya will host the premier Africa Artificial Intelligence Conference (AIPAC 2025), the first continental gathering focusing exclusively on Artificial Intelligence.
The four-day conference that takes place in August from 25th -28th in Mombasa has been strategically designed to place Kenya at the epicenter of global AI conversations.
AIPAC 2025 is expected to bring together over 1,500 business and corporate leaders, policymakers, scholars, innovators, and researchers from across Africa and the globe.
Delegates will collaborate on co-creating national AI strategies, shaping ethical frameworks, unlocking investments, and celebrating African talent and innovation in AI.
“AIPAC 2025 offers Kenya a unique opportunity for investor-startup matchmaking to drive capital investments into AI enterprises,” said Mr. Harun Katusya, Director and Chairman of the AIPAC 2025 Secretariat.
“This is more than a conference – it’s a platform to shape Africa’s AI future and open global doors for Kenyan ingenuity,” said Mr Katusya.
Kenya’s top AI entrepreneurs will connect with global venture capitalists and equity investors. Delegates will engage in high-level discussions to forge public-private AI partnerships.
Scholars and practitioners with input from delegates will draft key policy recommendations and develop cross-border talent development pacts.
Kenyan universities and research institutions will tap into international R&D opportunities.
The Conference will pay premium attention to AI applications across EduTech, HealthTech, AgriTech, ClimaTech, GovTech, FinTech, TradeTech, and InduTech.
This pioneering event will not only cement Kenya’s position as Africa’s AI hub, but also provide Kenyan authorities and institutions with a vital platform to influence and shape global AI conversations.
“It is a pivotal step in aligning Africa’s AI ambitions with global standards and trends,” said Mr Katusya.
