Why AI For Youth
The Pan-African AI Summit 2025 in Ghana demonstrated what's possible when Africa's youth, innovators, and thought leaders come together with a shared purpose. AI for Youth Africa builds on this momentum, creating spaces where young minds explore cutting-edge research, launch transformative projects, and apply AI to real-world challenges rooted in African realities. We exist to nurture talent, spark collaboration, and ensure Africa's voice shapes the global AI narrative.
