AI alliance unveiled: India, Italy, Kenya sign strategic tech deal
A trilateral Letter of Strategic Intent was signed by Italy, India and Kenya to strengthen cooperation in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.
The agreement was signed during the AI Impact Summit 2026 held in New Delhi.
According to a statement issued by the Italian Embassy in Kenya, the three countries were represented by Italy’s Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso; India’s Minister of Electronics and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw; and Kenya’s Minister of ICT and the Digital Economy, William Kabogo Gitau.
The letter of intent reaffirms the three nations’ commitment to developing AI platforms and solutions, building on the work of the AI Hub for Sustainable Development and the outcomes of the Nairobi AI Forum.
The statement noted that Kenya and the broader African continent will be the primary geographical focus of the renewed cooperation, in alignment with Italy’s Mattei Plan for Africa.
Particular emphasis will be placed on expanding voice-based AI solutions in African languages to enhance access to digital services and reduce language barriers.
The three countries will also establish a trilateral working group to oversee and monitor the implementation of the first 15 identified use cases.
