Artificial Intelligence & Digital Transformation Committee
Building Africa’s Digital Industry
The Artificial Intelligence & Digital Transformation Committee of Make in Africa unites technologists, policymakers and industry leaders from across the continent. Africa is too often a buyer of software, platforms and devices built elsewhere. This committee works to change that. It promotes adoption, builds skills, and presses partner countries for technology and licence sharing, so African firms can design and make digital products at home.
