While the global AI ecosystem is often dominated by established players in North America and Asia, Africa is quietly experiencing a surge in AI development.
This rise is fueled by a young, tech-savvy population, a developing tech infrastructure, and a growing hunger to solve problems unique to the continent.
However, the question remains, can homegrown talent from Africa compete on the global AI stage?
The global artificial intelligence market size was valued at USD 150.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 36.8% from 2023 to 2030. Africa, with its young and tech-savvy population, is well-positioned to capitalize on this growth.
The continent boasts a large pool of tech talent, a growing number of tech hubs and research institutions, and a strong focus on digital transformation across various sectors.
This surge isn’t happening in isolation. We’re seeing a rise in African startups powered by AI technology tackling various challenges.
