From November 12 to 14, 2025, Conakry will host the 7th edition of the Transform Africa Summit (TAS 2025), a major continental event and the first of its kind in Francophone West Africa. Under the theme "AI for Africa: Innovate Locally, Impact Globally," the summit aims to make the continent a strategic player in the global governance of artificial intelligence. By bringing together public decision-makers, investors, startups, and researchers, the event seeks to be a catalyst for transformation, where innovation becomes a lever for sovereignty and competitiveness.

Beyond its technological dimension, the TAS 2025 marks a political and geoeconomic turning point. It enshrines Africa's commitment to breaking free from prolonged technological dependence by promoting local research, sovereign digital infrastructure, and the development of ethical frameworks adapted to its realities. The issues of data governance, training, and funding for innovation ecosystems will be central to the discussions, in a global context where artificial intelligence is reshaping power dynamics.

By hosting this summit, Guinea affirms its ambition to become a regional digital hub, positioning Conakry as a place where technology, inclusion, and sustainability converge. The event symbolizes the rise of an Africa that no longer wants to be subjected to industrial revolutions, but rather to shape and direct them according to its own priorities.

Through this dynamic, TAS 2025 is emerging as a key milestone in building an African digital world based on creativity, responsibility and strategic autonomy.
