Why Dakar, Senegal?
Senegal was selected as the host country for the 6th edition of the All Africa IP Summit in 2025, following a vote by participants and delegates at the 5th edition of the Summit, which took place in Kigali, Rwanda, from 28th to 30th November 2024.
The Organising Committee believes that Dakar’s vibrant culture, innovation hubs, and strategic position in West Africa make it a pleasurable host City for this landmark event.
