AIDA serves as an international stage to celebrate African designers while fostering a global
conversation about Africa’s role in shaping the future of design. By highlighting innovative solutions
for the continent’s diverse challenges, AIDA aims to spark conversations, inspire change, and
increase international collaboration.
AIDA celebrates African and International Designers whose work is rooted in Africa’s rich cultural
and environmental context for the benefit of African citizens.
AIDA promotes sustainability, creativity, and forward-thinking designs that have the power to draft
answers to the huge demographic challenge that the youngest continent of the world will face.
AIDA fosters collaboration between emerging talents (students) and established professionals,
startups and large companies, in order to accelerate finding new paths that do not reproduce
the excesses of existing models.
