At 10:00 AM, he will moderate Panel 05, "Intelligence for Impact: Deploying AI Responsibly in Liberia's Public and Private Sectors," examining how artificial intelligence can support national development while promoting responsible adoption.
At 11:00 AM, he joins Panel 06, "Building from Within: Funding, Growing, and Scaling Liberia's Innovation Ecosystem," where discussion will focus on strengthening local ICT capacity and expanding investment into Liberian innovation.
At 12:10 PM, he will serve as a panelist for Panel 07, "Unlocking Liberia's Untapped Potential: Tech, Tourism and the Investment Case," exploring how technology can strengthen tourism and attract new investment opportunities.
The summit then shifts to the Startup World Cup Liberia Finals at 1:15 PM, bringing together innovation, entrepreneurship, and global investment on one platform. The event offers Liberian startups a pathway to international investors, with the winning company advancing to the Startup World Cup Grand Finale in San Francisco to compete for a US$1 million investment prize.
By placing discussions on AI governance, innovation financing, tourism, and startup investment alongside one another, the summit highlights Liberia's growing ambition to build a competitive, technology-driven economy.
NIC's active participation reflects its commitment to attracting investment into high-growth sectors, strengthening the country's innovation ecosystem, and promoting Liberia as an emerging destination for technology and investment.
