AfricAI has signed a multi-year unique distribution and deployment settlement with Micropolis Robotics, granting AfricAI sole and unique rights to commercialise, deploy, and scale Micropolis’s superior robotics platforms throughout Africa, marking probably the most consequential robotics market entries on the continent so far.
Underneath the settlement, Micropolis Robotics appoints AfricAI as its unique continental companion, prohibiting direct gross sales, different distributors, or third-party brokers working inside the territory.
The settlement establishes AfricAI as the first execution, localisation, and go-to-market platform for clever robotics throughout African industrial, safety, logistics, and infrastructure sectors.
This unique mandate positions AfricAI because the gateway for superior autonomous techniques getting into African markets, making certain regulatory compliance, native capability constructing, and sovereign management over deployment frameworks.
The partnership strikes past software- primarily based synthetic intelligence into the realm of bodily AI – clever machines able to working in complicated, real-world African environments.
Fareed Aljawhari, CEO of Micropolis Robotics, says: “This isn’t a collaboration – it’s a market-shaping mandate.
“AfricAI now represents the unique gateway by which Micropolis applied sciences enter Africa. Their sovereign AI imaginative and prescient, operational attain, and regulatory fluency make them the one companion able to executing at a continental scale.
The settlement allows AfricAI to combine Micropolis’s autonomous robotics techniques with AfricAI’s sovereign AI stack, enabling AI-driven safety and surveillance platforms, robotics-enabled logistics and port operations, industrial automation, good infrastructure, and municipal robotics tailor-made to African working circumstances.
Embedded inside the settlement are long-term performance-linked enlargement rights, computerized renewals, and a structured localisation framework designed to anchor robotics deployment, workforce coaching, and expertise switch inside Africa.
HRH Prince Malik Ado-Ibrahim, government chairman of AfricAI, says: “Africa doesn’t want imported automation – it wants sovereign, context-aware clever techniques. This unique mandate permits AfricAI to industrialise robotics deployment at scale whereas retaining management, compliance, and worth creation on the continent.”
Preliminary deployments will begin in safety, good infrastructure, and logistics, with phased enlargement throughout a number of African states as a part of AfricAI’s broader continental AI, knowledge, and clever infrastructure technique.
Business analysts observe that the settlement positions AfricAI as one of many first unique robotics gatekeepers on the continent, enabling Africa to leapfrog legacy industrialisation pathways by the deployment of autonomous, AI-driven bodily infrastructure.
Each corporations reaffirmed their dedication to accountable innovation, ESG compliance, and the event of sustainable robotics ecosystems that improve productiveness, safety, and financial resilience throughout Africa.
