CASABLANCA, MOROCCO – Building on the
momentum of GITEX AFRICA (April 7–9, 2026), EPIK Leaders is proud
to announce the AI FOR IMPACT summit, a strategic gathering set to take
place on April 10 at 10:00 AM.

Organized in partnership with EMSI, this summit
will convene a high-level ecosystem of NGOs, public institutions, donors,
technology companies, impact startups, and AI experts around a shared ambition:
accelerating the responsible adoption of AI for the public good.

AI: A Strategic Lever for Social
Impact

As global challenges evolve,
artificial intelligence has emerged as a critical tool to strengthen the
nonprofit sector. The summit will explore how AI serves as a powerful lever to:

●       
Strengthen
reporting
and impact measurement.

●       
Enhance
transparency
and institutional accountability.

●       
Optimize
resource mobilization
and strategic communication.

●       
Structure
project governance
while promoting ethical and
responsible AI practices.

Featuring Tech Guest Star: NOVAI

The 2026 edition is honored to welcome NOVAI (Network
of Opportunities for Value, Aid and Innovation
) as its Tech Guest Star.

NOVAI is an AI-powered funding platform specifically
designed for NGOs and social enterprises seeking more effective access to
international grants. By helping organizations identify relevant funding
opportunities and craft competitive, expert-backed proposals, NOVAI solves a
major pain point: it reduces the time spent on complex grant writing, allowing
teams to focus on delivering measurable impact on the ground.

Empowering the Next Generation of
African Leaders

In alignment with the core values of EPIK Leaders
this summit provides a unique platform for high-level networking and strategic
connections across the technology and funding ecosystems.

“At EPIK Leaders, we believe
in equipping young talents with the tools to build the opportunities of
tomorrow. Integrating AI into the social impact sector is not just an
innovation; it is a necessity for the future of our continent,” says the organization.
