Africa stands at a transformative crossroads, with over 60% of its population under 25, positioning the continent as a global leader in the digital and AI era. Beyond enhancing service delivery, digital and AI offers a powerful catalyst for business innovation, market growth, and inclusive economic prosperity.
Drawing inspiration from Enrico Mattei's legacy—whose vision shaped the Italy-Africa Mattei Plan through mutually beneficial global cooperation—Italy and its partners are pioneering an ambitious, future-oriented model of collaboration with Africa and the private sector.
