Organized under the theme “Catalyzing the African Digital Economy in the Age of Artificial Intelligence,” the event will convene policymakers, industry leaders, startups, investors, and researchers to explore the transformative potential of responsible AI.
According to organizers, this year’s edition aims to strengthen digital public policies and accelerate the scaling of high-impact solutions tailored to Africa’s development needs.

The event is organized under the supervision of the ministry by the Digital Development Agency (ADD) and KAOUN International, a subsidiary of the Dubai World Trade Centre. Minister Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni stated that the initiative seeks to position digital technology as a strategic driver of co-development in Africa, ensuring innovation directly contributes to sustainable growth and improved quality of life.
Organizers describe the 2026 edition as a catalyst for cross-border cooperation, designed to accelerate the deployment of impactful digital solutions and reinforce Africa’s long-term economic resilience.
