About(Building Africa's AI Future)

A continental movement to build AI from Africa, by Africans, for humanity. Zero100 is the spark. The movement is unstoppable.

Right now, 1.4 billion Africans are building the future while the world watches Silicon Valley. The 4-day Zero100 masterclass isn't our destination—it's our wake-up call. It's the moment Africa stops asking for permission and starts setting the global AI agenda.

The Movement We're Building

We see an Africa where not one brilliant mind is limited by geography, resources, or global perception.

Moment

This is the moment when artificial intelligence stops being "artificial" and becomes authentically African. When Lagos Medical School uses AI to diagnose sickle cell disease faster than Johns Hopkins. When Makerere University's AirQo system becomes the global standard for environmental monitoring. When Nigerian farmers use locally-built AI to feed the continent.

570M

Yet 80% own mobile phones. We're building AI solutions that work offline, in local languages, and with limited infrastructure.

0.02%

Companies like Awarri are changing this by building AI models trained on African data, in African languages, for African contexts.

18.5M

EdTech platforms like uLesson and AfriLearn use AI to deliver personalized education regardless of location or economic status.

2.5M

AI diagnostic tools like Portal Telemedicina serve over 300 cities, while Neural Labs Kenya detects diseases through chest X-rays.
