The **Afro-Asian Forum for Innovation and Technology** was established to harness the powerful capacity of technology to transform every aspect of human existence—from everyday life to broader societal structures. Guided by the core principles of transparency, diversity, and the promotion of open-source initiatives, we aim to: 1. Provide a unique platform for the exchange of ideas, fostering innovation and challenging existing standards in the field of technology. 2. Enhance the quality of competitions by increasing awareness of their benefits and selecting new and innovative themes each year. 3. Build capacity by reshaping the future of human potential and social capital—from adaptive education to inclusive, lifelong, multi-path learning that serves everyone—through specialized training programs for educators. 4. Establish a business incubator for winning teams to support them in transforming their projects into startup companies. Registration is open to individuals, organizations, schools, and universities to participate in the forum and its competitions. Semi-annual conferences, seminars, and workshops are organized to help researchers enhance their knowledge and skills. In addition, a freelance platform will be created for talented students to facilitate connections between them and industry. **Current number of member countries in the forum:** 30 countries (listed alphabetically): Jordan Bahrain Algeria Saudi Arabia China Iraq Kuwait United Arab Emirates Morocco India Indonesia Pakistan Bangladesh Thailand Turkey Tunisia South Africa Rwanda Oman Ghana Equatorial Guinea Palestine Qatar Kazakhstan Kenya Libya Mali Malaysia Egypt Nigeria **Executive Board Members:** * 22 members representing their respective countries. * Coordination is underway to add 8 new members representing their countries following their accession to membership in 2026. * 2 honorary members. **Number of competitions:** 24 competitions.
