Afro Futures 2050

Reimagining Africa With Sci-Fi

By 2050, Africa will be home to one in four people on Earth. Africa Futures 2050 is all about harnessing that momentum—inviting Africans to envision how the continent can look, feel, and operate in a future propelled by possibility. Rather than waiting for change, we’re empowering communities to imagine tomorrow and take practical steps to build it today.

The Vision

Our vision is to use African storytellers to blend the continent’s rich cultural heritage with a limitless vision of the cosmos. These stories will inspire local and diaspora communities to lead a new era—building diverse, inclusive and sustainable cities, advancing interstellar exploration, and driving AI breakthroughs. 

They will showcase the boundless imagination and ingenuity of Africa, sparking creativity, exploration, and scientific curiosity. They will foster a thriving ecosystem of African change makers and leaders who create solutions that merge tradition with cutting-edge technology, reshaping the global landscape and Africa’s future.

Join us. Write the Future. Create the Future.
