About Us
Join us to shape the future of AI for the benefit of people.
Who are we ?
Founded in 2024, AI4GOOD Festival is a vibrant, first-of-its-kind non-profit organization based in Mauritius, dedicated to inspiring and empowering the next generation of creators.
We believe that artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to shape a brighter future, which is why we provide an exciting, free platform for young people to explore AI, develop their creativity, and address important social issues such as inclusion, mental health awareness, and environmental sustainability.
Through AI-driven initiatives, participants create AI-generated videos, video games, and digital art, using technology as a tool for storytelling, entertainment, and artistic expression.

OUR Vision
We envision a world where young creators, inspired by the limitless possibilities of AI, weave together a tapestry of innovation that bridges communities, sparks social change, and paves the way for a sustainable future.
Through the AI4GOOD Festival, we see a generation of passionate minds shaping a world where creativity meets technology, and where the power of AI is used to ignite positive transformation across cultures, from the heart of Mauritius to every corner of the globe.
OUR Mission
Our mission is to harness the power of AI to inspire and empower young people, ages 12-25, by providing them with the skills to create videos, music, video games, and other cutting-edge forms of art.
With free and accessible educational experiences, mentorship, alumni support, and our festivals, we spark a passion for AI, motivating youth to use their newfound abilities to shape their futures and make a lasting, positive impact in their communities and beyond.
The CHALLENGE
Africa has the youngest population in the world, with 60% of its people under the age of 25. This represents both a tremendous opportunity and a significant challenge. While this youthful demographic has the potential to drive economic growth and innovation, a critical gap in access to education and training in emerging technologies – particularly artificial intelligence (AI) – limits their opportunities.
In many African countries, advanced AI education and digital skills training remain inaccessible to a large portion of the population, especially in rural areas where internet connectivity, educational infrastructure, and technological resources are scarce. As AI transforms industries and reshapes the global job market, millions of African youth risk being left behind, unable to develop the skills needed to participate in the digital economy.
The urban-rural digital divide further exacerbates these disparities, making it even more difficult for young people in underserved communities to engage with AI and other cutting-edge technologies.
Without targeted efforts to bridge this gap, African youth may be excluded from future economic opportunities and innovative problem-solving in key areas such as healthcare, education, and climate resilience – sectors where AI-driven solutions could have a profound impact.
Ensuring equitable access to AI education and digital resources is essential not only for the individual success of young Africans but also for the continent’s broader development and ability to contribute meaningfully to the global AI revolution.
THE Solution
The AI4GOOD Festival provides an innovative platform that empowers young people, particularly in Africa, to engage with artificial intelligence and develop the skills needed for the digital economy. We offer free access to hands-on learning experiences, creative tools, and personalized mentorship, enabling youth in both urban and rural areas to explore AI and its applications in video production, music composition, game development, and more.
Our approach bridges the gap in AI education by reaching underserved communities, where access to advanced technology and training is limited. Through workshops and mentorship, we foster creativity while addressing important social issues like mental health, inclusion, and sustainability. Mentors play a crucial role in guiding participants, ensuring they have the support and resources to succeed.
In addition, the AI4GOOD Festival cultivates a global network of alumni who can continue to learn, collaborate, and inspire one another long after the festival ends. By focusing on Africa in the first year of our expansion, we are laying the groundwork for a global movement that empowers youth from all backgrounds.

Next Goals
By 2029, AI4GOOD Festival will be a global movement, ensuring youth worldwide have the tools, knowledge, and networks to use AI for positive change.
In Year 1, AI4GOOD Festival aims to empower 3,000 youth across 10 countries through hands-on AI education, mentorship, and creative challenges. To achieve this, we need strategic partners, sponsors, and donors who believe in the power of AI for social impact.
All initiatives within our long-term plan will be not-for-profit, ensuring accessibility, inclusivity, and social impact at the core of everything we do.
