BY embracing 4IR technologies within Special Economic Zones, Africa can create a blueprint for sustainable, inclusive industrialisation.

Africa possesses immense potential for economic transformation. With AI adoption in the region expected to grow by 18% by 2030, we have an unprecedented opportunity. ​ Today, I want to focus on how Special Economic Zones can harness Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies to accelerate industrialization.Traditional SEZ models have had mixed results.

To achieve breakthrough success, Africa needs a new approach. This means integrating technologies like machine learning, blockchain, and industrial automation into the core of SEZ development. Imagine streamlined production lines, transparent supply chains, and the emergence of entirely new tech-driven industries. This is the future of SEZs in Africa.
