AfricAI positions Africa for large-scale adoption of intelligent machines
A multi-year agreement places AfricAI at the centre of Africa’s expanding autonomous technology ecosystem.
Through exclusive rights to Micropolis Robotics, AfricAI is the gateway to autonomous systems in Africa. This partnership deploys advanced robotics into industry, security, logistics, and regional infrastructure. The collaboration establishes a single entry point for high-tech automation and sustainable growth.
Micropolis will not pursue direct sales or other distributors in Africa, leaving the pan-African AI and tech platform responsible for localisation, regulation, and market rollout across the continent.
Company leaders described the partnership as a shift from software-focused AI to intelligent machines in real-world environments. According to Micropolis CEO Fareed Aljawhari, Africa is becoming the exclusive route for robotics expansion across the continent.
The agreement allows AfricAI to integrate autonomous robotics with its broader AI infrastructure stack, supporting security systems, smart cities, automated logistics, and industrial operations adapted to local conditions. Initial deployments will begin in security and infrastructure.
Analysts say the deal positions as one of Africa’s first large-scale robotics gatekeepers, potentially accelerating industrial transformation through autonomous technologies. Both firms highlighted commitments to responsible innovation and sustainable technology ecosystems.
