This Sunday, Algeria presided over the Ministerial Summit of the African Start-up Conference (ASC 2025), under the supervision of the Minister of Knowledge Economy, Start-ups, and Micro-enterprises, Noureddine Ouadah. The discussions mainly focused on the Algiers Ministerial Declaration, a strategic document centered on supporting African innovation champions and entrepreneurs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the occasion of this ministerial summit, part of the 4th edition of the African Start-up Conference held at the Abdelatif-Rahal International Conference Center in Algiers, African ministers debated ways to strengthen the start-up ecosystem through increased African cooperation, harmonization of public policies, and promotion of technologies across the continent. The Ministerial Summit of the African Start-up Conference was held in the presence of the Vice Commissioner of the African Union, Selma Haddadi, the AU Commissioner in charge of Education, Teaching, and Innovation, the Commissioner responsible for Energy, as well as ministers representing various African countries.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, Minister Noureddine Ouadah recalled that ASC 2025, now in its fourth edition, has established itself as a major event in Africa. According to him, the purpose of this meeting is to support innovation, encourage the creation of start-ups, and give African youth the opportunity to fully contribute to the national and continental economy.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that the ministerial meeting constitutes “the beating heart” of the conference. This session focuses this year on two main axes.<\/p>\n

The first concerns promoting African success stories, demonstrating the potential of start-ups on the continent to transform the African economy, accelerate the digital transition, and drive sustainable prosperity. The ministers also reviewed public policies implemented in several countries, including Algeria, to foster the integration of innovative youth into a knowledge-based economy.<\/p>\n

The second axis addresses tax incentives and financing for scientific research, two essential levers to enable the emergence of start-ups mastering advanced technologies and capable of competing with their counterparts in other regions of the world.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ouadah indicated that the African Start-up Conference annually provides the opportunity to update the Algiers Declaration, recognized as an official document of the African Union. This roadmap, updated at each edition, could become the continent\u2019s unique strategic reference for the development of innovation and start-ups.<\/p>\n

According to the minister, the summit also aims to strengthen African technological sovereignty, promote development “by African hands,” and offer real opportunities for the continent\u2019s youth to build a new economy based on youth, knowledge, and mastery of technologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
