Ghana is set to host the One Vecta AI Summit 2026 from September 8–9, 2026, at The Palms by Eagles. The event will convene global artificial intelligence experts, corporate executives, policymakers, investors and innovators to discuss how AI can be leveraged to accelerate growth, innovation and productivity across Africa.
The summit is being organised by AlphaVecta Technologies and aims to move beyond theoretical discussions about artificial intelligence to focus on practical implementation. Held under the theme “From Vision to Execution: Building Practical AI Systems to Power Growth, Innovation and Productivity Across Africa,” the gathering will highlight how organisations can successfully adopt AI solutions in real-world settings.
Participants will take part in hands-on workshops, live demonstrations and practical sessions showing how artificial intelligence is being applied across key sectors such as finance, healthcare, agriculture and climate technology.
A major highlight of the summit will be the Innovation Track powered by MEST Africa, which will offer emerging startups the opportunity to present AI-driven innovations, connect with investors and interact with industry leaders.
Confirmed speakers include Ha Cole, Chief AI Officer at Microsoft; Rajesh Sura, Head of Data Engineering and Analytics at Amazon; Abed Ajarou, Executive Partner for Data Analytics and AI at Gartner; Dan Collins, Senior Director at Invisible Technologies; and Edna Engmann, Head of Transformation Programmes at Fidelity Bank Ghana.
The 2026 summit will explore five key themes: AI & Intelligent Systems, AI in FinTech, AI in HealthTech, AI in Agritech and AI in ClimateTech.
The event targets corporate executives, technology professionals, startups, investors, policymakers, researchers and students interested in understanding and applying AI within Africa’s rapidly expanding digital economy.
Early bird tickets for the summit are currently available for a limited time, with further details and registration accessible via the official summit website.
