The Conversation We Need

Why This Conference Matters

Africa is consuming technology faster than it is creating it. We download apps, import machines, and adopt platforms built elsewhere. The STEM & AI Conference 2026 is a bold response to that reality — a day to shift the mindset from consumption to creation.

SEN was officially outdoored at its very first event at the School of Public Health, University of Ghana. This conference marks a return home — a celebration of how far we have come and a launch pad for what comes next.

SEN held its first major event as an agency at the School of Public Health, University of Ghana — making this venue a meaningful homecoming. This conference also serves as the official launch platform for the SEN Innovation Challenge (SIC) 2026, our flagship national tertiary innovation program.

✓Keynote speakers and expert panels
✓AI and emerging technologies focus
✓Career exploration and networking
✓Official launch of SIC 2026
