🌍 Africa is on the brink of a youthquake, and we are the epicenter! 🌍
The recent Gen-Z protests across Africa have shown the world that we, the youth, are not just the future—we are the present. We are demanding accountability, inclusivity, and a seat at the table in discussions about our countries' futures, especially in the realm of technology.
As Africa continues to rise, it's clear that we are on the cusp of a 'youthquake.' “By the 2030s, Africa is set to have the largest workforce in the world, surpassing even India and China. By the 2040s, two out of every five babies born globally will be African, and by the 2050s, 33% of all people aged 15-24 will be African. Africa will make up 25% of the world's population, meaning that one in four people in the World will be African.” Firstpost
In light of these powerful trends, I am honored to join Innovate Nairobi Tech Week 2024 as a speaker on the AI Track, under the theme 'Into the World of AI: Can Kenya Take the Lead?' I will be sharing the stage with some of the brightest minds in the industry, including:
Ambassador Philip Thigo, MBS, a visionary leader with over 20 years of experience in technology and innovation for public good, currently serving as the Executive Director for Africa at Thunderbird School of Global Management.
Dr. Jabhera Matogoro, a renowned AI expert and lecturer at the University of Dodoma, with a track record of securing significant funding for AI development in Africa.
Ben Roberts, Group Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at Liquid Intelligent Technologies, bringing invaluable insights into the future of connectivity and technology in Africa.
Chido Dzinotyiwei, an entrepreneur and venture builder, who is making waves in the African startup ecosystem.
I am a testament to the inclusivity and growing recognition of Gen-Z in shaping the future of our Country and our World. Together, we can lead Africa into a new era of technological innovation and global leadership.
