Across the world, AI has become a business imperative for companies to stay competitive. Microsoft’s goal is to democratise our breakthroughs in AI to enable people and organisations in Africa to be more productive and go on to solve the most pressing challenges of our society. Thanks to our research, partnership, and investments, we’re able to deliver a wide range of AI-powered products that fit the needs of people and organisations across the continent, large and small.

Our tools and platforms help drive small business productivity, large business competitiveness, public-sector efficiency, and startup innovation, helping to address Africa’s biggest problems.

For nearly 30 years, Microsoft has partnered with key stakeholders to help build the digital capacity needed to build a strong foundation for AI transformation in Africa. Our aim is to create local opportunity, growth, and impact by investing in a broad range of skilling initiatives that maximise the economic power of a young Africa, as well as programmes that support local companies to help make our continent more globally competitive. We work closely with government, partners, businesses, and people to create essential infrastructure that accelerates AI adoption and economic growth, provides jobs, and drives innovation, helping Africa compete effectively in the global economy.

We are not just a technology provider, but a partner on this journey dedicated to accelerating the continent’s trajectory towards an AI-enabled future.
