[Survey] Business Leaders Invited to Share Insights on Africa’s AI Adoption

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer the preserve of Silicon Valley or Asia’s tech giants. It is rapidly becoming a defining force in global business transformation, and Africa is stepping onto the stage with increasing confidence. From fintech solutions in Lagos to health tech platforms in Nairobi and agricultural innovations in Accra, AI is steadily weaving its way into the fabric of African economies.

But just how far has this revolution progressed across the continent? Which sectors are leading adoption, what challenges stand in the way, and where does Africa’s greatest potential lie? To answer these questions, Africa Business Panel has launched its first-ever AI Adoption Barometer, an ambitious initiative to capture the realities, opportunities, and barriers of AI adoption across Africa.

Shaping the future of business in Africa

This survey isn’t just another research exercise. It is the foundation of what will become Africa’s first AI Adoption Index, a benchmark tool designed to help business leaders, policymakers, and innovators understand where the continent stands and where it is heading.

By participating, business leaders will not only contribute to a continent-wide data resource but also gain exclusive early access to the findings, putting them ahead of the curve in tracking industry trends. More importantly, they will become part of a growing network of over 18,000 decision-makers already registered with the Africa Business Panel, each playing a role in shaping the trajectory of Africa’s digital future.

Insights that matter

“Especially in the last century, Africa was regarded as a dark continent primarily because of the dearth of information that existed about the region,” says Philip Okullo, Country Manager Ghana at Ipsos. “Thanks to a range of factors, in this century, Africa is now seen to be not just opening up but coming up both socially and economically. One of the main reasons for this is that through market research, more information and knowledge is now available about the continent.”

This shift, Okullo explains, is crucial. With better insights, African stakeholders are making sharper, faster decisions, whether in investment, policy, or technology. Digital platforms like the Africa Business Panel are making market research more accessible, cost-efficient, and timely, enabling companies and policymakers to respond to opportunities with agility.

The call to action

AI represents both promise and challenge for Africa. On one hand, it offers unprecedented potential to leapfrog traditional barriers to growth, from limited infrastructure to gaps in healthcare and education. On the other, it raises pressing questions about skills, ethical use, and inclusivity.

The AI in Business Survey is designed to bring clarity to this conversation, ensuring that strategies are built on knowledge rather than assumptions. Whether a business is already deploying AI or simply exploring its possibilities, every voice matters.

By contributing to this survey, participants will not just be respondents; they will be co-architects of Africa’s AI future.
