Building on Africa’s digital momentum from the September 2025 State of the Digital Economy Forum, GAIME aims to emphasize AI’s role in economic resilience, public services, and global competitiveness.

A central highlight will be the launch of the Collaborative AI Policy Framework (CAPF), a model designed to operationalize ethical AI standards through formal agreements involving international organizations and governments.

The GAIME Conference 2025, Africa's largest AI gathering of the year, will take place in Kampala, Uganda, on October 30-31, attracting over 5,000 delegates from more than 180 countries to shape global AI governance.

This two-day event will feature keynotes, expert panels, workshops, and live demonstrations focused on AI's impact on the economy, healthcare, finance, agriculture, education, and responsible AI ethics.

The conference will promote transparency, accountability, and social impact in AI development, emphasizing ethical standards, policy frameworks, and collaborative models for regional and global benefit.

Participating organizations include the African Union and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, which will collaborate on AI governance strategies tailored for Africa and the wider world.

Partnerships with institutions like Howard University’s Center for Applied Data Science and the UN Economic Commission for Africa aim to foster responsible AI innovation, data governance, and sustainable digital transformation across the continent.

Post-event, efforts will focus on establishing working groups, collaborative projects, and ongoing partnerships to translate discussions into actionable AI ecosystem development in Africa, culminating in the Kampala Accord on Ethical and Inclusive AI and the launch of the AI for Public Good Observatory.

Early-bird registration is open until September 30, 2025, with organizations encouraged to apply for partnership and sponsorship opportunities to engage decision-makers across sectors.

CERFODES, the organizer with over two decades of experience, emphasizes resilient, mobile-first, and inclusive digital technologies tailored to Africa's local realities.

Uganda is positioning itself as a central hub for global AI dialogue, promoting responsible, inclusive, and future-ready AI innovation on the continent.

Networking opportunities at the conference will connect startups, investors, policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders to foster collaboration and innovation.
