African founded. Globally experienced. Responsibly innovative.

Promoting and Governing Emerging Technologies for Africa's Future

APGETA is a US registered, African founded non profit organization, established by Africans with international professional experience, working to advance the promotion and governance of emerging technologies across Africa.

We convene governments, enterprises, innovators, civil society, faith based institutions, and communities to ensure emerging technologies—such as artificial intelligence—are innovative, trusted, inclusive, and aligned with Africa's development priorities.

Why APGETA is Different

Many organizations focus only on innovation or only on regulation.
APGETA intentionally works at the intersection of both.
