Ministers, IT executives, and business owners from all across the continent are coming together for three days of talks, networking, and exhibits at the African Startup Conference, which kicked up Thursday at the International Conference Centre in Algiers, the capital of Algeria.

Speaking on behalf of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, Algerian Prime Minister Nadir Larbaoui opened the gathering. Tebboune described the conference as a vital forum for encouraging creativity and cooperation among thousands of entrepreneurs, emphasising Algeria’s pivotal role in Africa’s startup ecosystem. The conference has attracted over 800 investors, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals, including 45 ministries, with Ethiopia as this year’s honoured guest.

According to the conference’s organisers, the goal is to convert creative concepts into workable projects that would promote sustainable development in Africa by utilising artificial intelligence (AI) to address issues and open doors throughout the continent. To evaluate the execution of Africa’s startup roadmap and Algeria’s contributions to promoting sector growth, more than 30 discussions are planned, along with ancillary events. Building on conversations from past editions, this year’s conference will also present a new roadmap for AI development in Africa.
