These, whose works are exhibited at respective stalls within the Kigali Convention Center each hold something unique for not only this event, but for Africa’s development through locally sought initiatives.

Dr.Olugbenga Adesida, Co-Director of AIS, indicated that “AIS provides more than a robust and dynamic platform for multi-stakeholder dialogue, but rather a catalyst for “Made in Africa” innovations that are already addressing the challenges faced on the continent, but need assistance to take root and scale across the continent.”

From Agriculture, health, education, technology to processing and other innovative ideas, each stall presents a unique face and projection of great, yet commendable initiatives.
