Africa’s compute will come from its entrepreneurs. Speaking at the Global AI Summit on Africa today, our Founder and Executive Chairman, Strive Masiyiwa, detailed how our AI Factory will set the stage for entrepreneurs and developers to step forward and grow Africa's AI ecosystem He explained that “The future comes from young people building apps and solutions, small businesses every day across this continent using AI. They are the digital natives, and we just have to give them the ability to do what they do best.” Discover how “Africa’s first ‘AI factory’ could be a breakthrough for the continent”, boosting innovation, democratising AI and driving economic growth: https://lnkd.in/efKdkkaH #Africa #AI #AfricaTech #GAISAfrica2025
Strive Masiyiwa well done!
Highly recommended!!
Your inbuilt antenna (instincts) for knowing the perfect moment to act are always sharp. Where can I watch the proceedings of this conference?
I would like to express my deep admiration for the insight, visionary leadership, and foresight of Strive Masiyiwa, who is a true gem of the African continent.
One of the best panels.
Great opportunity, the future is here, AI factory Data Centers across Africa, job creation model, hats-off, wow!
If Africa is to thrive in the global digital economy, we must invest in digital skills early — and at scale. That’s precisely what we are doing with Akello Code4Kids — Akello’s digital skills platform designed to upskill educators and bring a complete Coding, Robotics, and IT curriculum into classrooms for learners aged 8–15. In 2025, we are training 5,000 teachers and reaching over 200,000 learners in Zimbabwe. We are not just teaching students how to use technology—we are equipping them to build it, think critically, create solutions, and lead in fields like AI, robotics, and software development. #DigitalSkills #Code4Kids #AkelloImpact
Amazing!
it would be amazing to see a Strive Masiyiwa starting a tech fund, now that would be a game changer.
Interesting event!
