The AI Digital Shift Conference, supported by Newsday Media, will take place at the American Corner, State Library in Maseru on September 29, 2025.
The conference will bring together business leaders, tech innovators, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and digital transformation enthusiasts.
“Whether you are a startup founder, corporate executive, government official, or AI researcher, this event is designed for anyone looking to leverage AI and digital solutions to drive growth, innovation, and impact in Lesotho and beyond,” said the conference host, Siphiwe Mabusela.
Lesotho’s journey in technology adoption has been gradual but significant. Over the past decade, mobile telephony and internet access have expanded rapidly, laying the groundwork for digital innovation.
While AI is still in its early stages locally, sectors such as banking, telecommunications, and insurance are beginning to explore AI-powered solutions to improve efficiency, enhance service delivery, and reach new markets.
In comparison with other countries in the Southern African region, Lesotho is at a developmental crossroads. South Africa and Botswana have made significant strides in AI adoption, with startups and large companies leveraging machine learning and automation to enhance productivity and drive innovation.
Namibia and Zimbabwe, meanwhile, are exploring AI in public service delivery and education. Lesotho’s young, tech-savvy population presents a unique opportunity for the country to accelerate AI adoption and carve a niche in the regional digital economy.
Mabusela described the AI Digital Shift Conference as Lesotho’s premier event on AI, digital transformation, and business innovation.
The conference will feature expert-led keynotes, panel discussions, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities, offering actionable insights and cutting-edge solutions to help businesses and industries navigate the digital future.
“Gain exclusive insights from top industry experts, discover AI-driven business solutions, and connect with decision-makers shaping the digital economy,” Mabusela added.
