Shaping AI ecosystem

The Context

Africa stands at a critical juncture, with key sectors such as healthcare, education, financial services, agriculture, and the labor market facing both significant challenges and opportunities for transformative growth:

Why Africa? Why Now?

Healthcare

With less than 1 doctor per 1,000 people in many parts of the continent, compared to the global average of 1.5, the need for scalable and accessible healthcare solutions is more urgent than ever.

Education

Over 60% of Africa's population is under the age of 25, presenting an unprecedented opportunity to leverage digital education to empower the next generation. Yet, with over 30 million children out of school, innovative approaches to education are critical.

Financial Services

Approximately 66% of Sub-Saharan Africans are unbanked, highlighting a vast potential for digital financial services to drive economic inclusion and growth.

Agriculture

Agriculture employs over 60% of Africa's labor force but suffers from low productivity. Digital innovations can revolutionize this sector, enhancing food security and farmers' incomes

Youth Unemployment

The youth unemployment rate in some African countries is as high as 30%, underscoring the urgent need for digital skills training and entrepreneurship support to harness the potential of Africa's young population.
