The Global Artificial Intelligence Innovation Movement and Evolution (GAIME) Conference 2025, organized by CERFODES, will convene in Kampala, Uganda, from October 30–31, 2025, reflecting a turning point for inclusive AI collaboration.
Bringing together over 5,000 delegates from more than 180 countries, GAIME Conference 2025 seeks to transform how artificial intelligence is designed, shared, and applied across global contexts. The summit focuses on practical collaboration, verifiable ethics, and innovation equity, ensuring that AI development serves communities as much as it serves industry.
“This is more than a conference; it’s a global working lab for responsible innovation,” said LaMine N’tambi-Sanogo, managing partner at CERFODES and founder of GAIME Conference. “Kampala is where ideas meet accountability. Every project discussed here must demonstrate measurable value for people, not just technological novelty.”
Innovation with Accountability at the Core
GAIME Conference 2025 will introduce the AI Intelligence Profile System, an advanced collaboration platform developed by CERFODES researchers to match delegates and institutions based on verified expertise, research interests, and complementary objectives.
The system, designed under GDPR-compliant data governance protocols, ensures transparency and security while enhancing global collaboration efficiency. The Intelligence Profile system will be able to connect Ugandan agricultural startups and Berlin-based AI researchers, producing collaborative models for explainable AI applications in precision agriculture.
According to LaMine N’tambi-Sanogo, “The Intelligence Profile system is designed for intentional collaboration rather than coincidence. Every connection formed through GAIME Conference can be tracked, documented, and reproduced across disciplines, ensuring measurable outcomes that extend beyond the two-day summit.”
Bridging Technology, Ethics, and Development
GAIME Conference’s agenda integrates key themes that connect technological innovation to human-centered outcomes. Plenary sessions will cover AI in education, digital inclusion, ethics in automation, sustainable data ecosystems, and AI policy frameworks aligned with the African Union’s AI Strategy (2024–2034) and UNESCO’s global ethical guidelines.
The conference’s Policy and Practice Forum will include contributions from representatives of Howard University's Center for Applied Data Science and Analytics, the African Union Commission, and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, ensuring that the summit’s recommendations align with international development priorities and national implementation pathways.
“GAIME Conference has earned its credibility because it doesn’t operate in abstraction,” said LaMine N’tambi-Sanogo.“Each session is designed to produce verifiable outputs, frameworks, pilot programs, and research agreements that can be audited, published, and sustained.”
Kampala: A Strategic Hub for Global Collaboration
The decision to host GAIME Conference in Kampala underscores a deliberate shift in global innovation geography. Uganda’s capital, known for its growing tech ecosystem and regional leadership in AI ethics and digital infrastructure, provides a model of how emerging markets can anchor global technological conversations.
The GAIME Conference 2025, taking place exclusively at Speke Resort Munyonyo in Kampala, will feature interactive workshops, startup showcases, and AI impact demonstrations designed to connect Uganda’s innovation ecosystem with global research and policy networks.
“The location is symbolic,” noted N’tambi-Sanogo. “It reflects a future where innovation leadership is no longer confined to a few centers of power. Kampala is proof that credible, scalable, and inclusive AI can emerge from anywhere.”
From Dialogue to Measurable Impact
GAIME Conference 2025’s key outcome will be the release of the “Kampala Impact Charter on Collaborative AI”, a consensus document summarizing commitments, frameworks, and verifiable project milestones established during the summit.
Following the conference, CERFODES will coordinate the GAIME Impact Observatory, a continuous evaluation platform tracking the progress of collaborative projects formed at the event. The observatory will issue annual progress reports publicly accessible through partner repositories and international research databases.
Additionally, a Joint Innovation Fellowship Program will be announced at the conference, pairing graduate researchers from African universities with international institutions for AI ethics, agricultural automation, and digital policy research.
“These deliverables ensure that GAIME Conference isn’t just a headline,” added N’tambi-Sanogo. “They form a traceable legacy of applied collaboration, where ethics and technology move forward together.”
Institutional Collaboration and Verified Partnerships
The GAIME Conference 2025 proudly collaborates with a distinguished network of partners, including the African Union, Howard University’s Center for Applied Data Science and Analytics, the Privacy and Data Protection Office, the Science, Technology and Innovation Secretariat, and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa.
Together, these institutions are working to advance responsible AI innovation, enhance data governance frameworks, and drive sustainable digital transformation across the continent. Their collaboration ensures that GAIME 2025 generates tangible, long-term impact through actionable and inclusive initiatives.
