This year’s event coincides with 30 years of Internet in Ghana, marking the country’s trailblazing role in Africa’s digital transformation.

It is on the theme: “A Resilient Internet Ecosystem for an Innovative Digital Africa,”—highlighting the urgent need for robust, secure, and forward-looking internet infrastructure across Africa.

This was in a statement from the communication unit of AIS copied to the Ghana News Agency.

AIS’25 is co-hosted by the National Communications Authority and the Ghana Dot Com Limited under the patronage of the Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation.

It is organised by the African Network Operators Group (AfNOG) with support from Af Star (Af*) and partners across the Internet ecosystem.

The Summit will gather Internet experts, technocrats, business leaders, policymakers, regulators and innovators from across Africa for a week of learning, networking and collaboration.

The programme includes technical coordination, policy discussions, capacity-building workshops, technical tutorials, and exhibitions that will benefit Ghanaian businesses, youth, and the technology ecosystem.

The statement said the Summit was not only a recognition of leadership but also a unique opportunity for Ghanaians to engage, learn, and benefit from Africa’s vibrant digital community.

“Hosting AIS’25 in Accra as we mark 30 years of the Internet in Ghana is a proud moment for our nation.

“It reflects Ghana’s pioneering role in Africa’s digital journey and our unwavering commitment to building a resilient, data-driven and inclusive Internet ecosystem that empowers businesses, youth, and innovators for the future and socio-economic development of Ghana,” Mr Sam George, Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, said.

Professor Nii Quaynor, AfNOG Convenor, said, “Ghana’s early adoption of the Internet helped open doors for Africa’s digital growth.

“As AIS’25 comes to Accra, we celebrate Ghana’s contribution and invite young people, entrepreneurs, and innovators to take part in building the next 30 years of Africa’s Internet.”

The Africa Internet Summit (AIS) is the pinnacle technical, educational and business ICT event in Africa, where stakeholders discuss issues relating to the Internet, its usage and impact.
