Honoris United Universities Supports AfricaTek 2025 to Advance Emerging Technologies

18 June 2025 – Last month, Honoris United Universities proudly supported AfricaTek 2025, hosted by member institution ESPRIT in Tunisia. Now in its 8th edition, this global conference co-organized with the European Alliance for Innovation (EAI), brought together brilliant minds to explore Emerging Technologies: Pathways to Resilience and Growth in Africa.

A total of 113 research submissions were received and rigorously evaluated through 490 expert reviews. This process culminated in the acceptance of 69 papers, of which 62 were presented, 58 in live on-campus sessions and four in virtual format.

It was a moment of powerful collaboration across our network, with contributions from Dr. Mohamed Tabaa (EMSI, Morocco), Dr. Adekunle Adeleke (Nile University of Nigeria), and many ESPRIT leaders as Technical Program Chairs.

Through initiatives like AfricaTek, Honoris United Universities reaffirms its mission to empower Africa’s academic communities to lead the development of relevant, resilient, and future-focused education for the continent. As AI and emerging technologies reshape the global landscape, Honoris remains committed to harnessing innovation to increase access to quality education.

Professor Faouzi Kamoun, Deputy General Manager of ESPRIT School of Business, said, “It was a great pleasure to welcome AfricaTek 2025 to the ESPRIT campus and to collaborate with esteemed colleagues from across the Honoris network and beyond. Events like these reflect the power of academic partnerships and the vital role of emerging technologies in transforming education systems, especially in emerging markets where innovation can accelerate access, equity, and impact.”
