The Presidential African Youth in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Competition 2025 is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at positioning Africa as a leader in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Organized by AUDA-NEPAD in partnership with Elevate AI Africa and hosted by South Africa’s Department of Trade, Industry and Competition, the competition empowers youth through AI, robotics, and emerging technologies. It goes beyond competition—fostering research, skills development, innovation, and economic growth aligned with the AfCFTA. The initiative bridges skills gaps, promotes industrialization and job creation, and ensures Africa not only adopts but leads in creating and scaling technological solutions.
