Kenya to host first-ever Pan-African Artificial Intelligence conference – AIPAC 2025

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.

I spent most of last night and today flipping through US TV channels, trying to follow one of the most consequential elections in history. Needless to say, the ruling Republicans have ‘seen very bad things.’  The Democrats have officially taken control of both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate, ending the Republican trifecta that began in January 2025 when President Donald Trump was sworn in for a second term. In Kenyan terms, the Democrats, the equivalent of the United Opposition, now hold the majority of the seats in both chambers of the legislature.   This will cripple Trump’s legislative agenda, since his rivals control both chambers. Why does this matter to us? Consider our own Executive and Legislature, and their relationship over the last four years.   President William Ruto has had the Senate and the National Assembly wrapped around his finger since his UDA party holds the majority in both houses. This has helped him pass some contentious laws such as the Finance Bill 2024, which led to mass protests by Gen Zs in June that year and in the years after. Take that power away, and he would be unable to get things done.   President Trump has alluded to using his veto powers to get around the new hurdles, but this rarely ends well for incumbents. Back home, President Ruto continues to face growing public dissatisfaction and criticism over the high cost of living, inflation, corruption, and extrajudicial killings, to name a few.   Read Also Kenya Track Survey ranks top…
