Africa & Global South

Shaping the future of technological innovations today

Tech + Geopolitics + Power

Exploring the intersection of Technology, Geopolitics, and Power opens a rich and strategic dialogue about how digital innovation is reshaping global influence, governance, and societal structures.

Geopolitics of Technology

This book explores how emerging technologies—especially artificial intelligence—are reshaping geopolitical dynamics in the Global South. It offers a strategic analysis of the challenges and opportunities facing developing regions as they navigate the global tech race.

Geopolitics of Technology & AI in the Global South

Geopolitics of Technology & AI in the Global South is a strategic and scholarly exploration of how emerging technologies—particularly artificial intelligence—are reshaping power dynamics, development pathways, and innovation ecosystems across the Global South. Jean Narcisse Djaha, PhD, offers a nuanced analysis of the intersection between global tech competition and the unique socio-political realities of developing regions in the global tech competition era.

Core Promise: The book argues that the Global South must move beyond being passive recipients of technological innovation. Instead, these regions should actively shape their own digital futures by investing in inclusive innovation, asserting tech sovereignty, and engaging in global governance dialogues.

Knowledge production:

With the AI Without Borders Global Summit, we aim to produce knowledge and insights about the geopolitics of technology, with a special focus on the impact of AI geopolitics in the Global South.
