About the Event
The African continent, particularly Central Africa is home to a dynamic and expanding community of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), yet many face obstacles in accessing markets, finance, and technology. These challenges limit their growth and competitiveness, making it difficult to scale. However, the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a transformative opportunity, enabling SMEs to overcome these barriers and unlock new possibilities for expansion.
AI-powered solutions can help SMEs streamline operations, improve customer engagement, and enhance decision-making. Chatbots, for example, provide 24/7 customer support, while machine learning algorithms analyze market trends for data-driven insights. Additionally, AI-driven platforms can simplify access to finance, talent, and new markets, creating a more level playing field for SMEs in the region.
To explore AI’s potential in SME growth, the 17th edition of AfICTA’s quarterly eConference has been proposed. The event will bring together SME owners, AI experts, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to discuss both opportunities and challenges in AI adoption. Through well-structured panel discussions, participants will gain knowledge into the latest AI innovations and practical strategies for leveraging AI to boost business growth and competitiveness.
