Step into the space where innovation is at the center of what we do.

This two-day symposium will take place on Yale's campus in February 2025, and is open to undergraduates, graduates, and young professionals who are passionate about innovation in Africa. This symposium will be held in the newly renovated Yale Science Building and Kline Biology Tower. The gala will be held at OMNI hotel located within a 5 minute walking distance.

At YAIS, young, bright minds will convene alongside African industry leaders to deconstruct issues and produce resolutions across various enterprises. Our symposium is designed to move beyond the standard discussion of Africa’s challenges by focusing on the creation of actionable solutions. The conference emphasizes innovative thinking and problem solving as an important avenue for change.
