Session Description

In 2025, AI is no longer a competitive edge, it’s the foundation of business reinvention. Across Africa, organizations are embracing AI and IoT to optimize operations, unlock new markets, enhance customer experiences, and fuel inclusive economic growth. 


With AI expected to contribute over $1.5 trillion to Africa’s economy by 2035, the urgency to shift from experimentation to real-world execution is more pressing than ever. But tapping into AI’s full value goes beyond the technology itself and requires bold leadership, localized innovation, and empowered, skilled talent. 


This session dives into how the telecoms sector can support forward-thinking African businesses in turning algorithms into action. From AI-powered predictive analytics in agriculture to intelligent automation in fintech and healthcare, and IoT solutions driving smart energy, logistics, and utilities. Join us as we explore how enterprises are supported by operators to become AI Smart!
