Accra, Nov. 14, GNA- The Africa Digital Rights Hub LBG (ADRH) will hold the 2025 Data Protection Africa Summit in Accra from December 1, 2025, to December 4, 2025.
The Summit will offer participants from Ghana and other parts of Africa a valuable opportunity to benefit from the various masterclasses, network with peers, exchange knowledge, and gain fresh insights to enhance their professional growth.
A statement issued in Accra by Ms Teki Akuetteh, Executive Director, ADRH, said the four-day summit was organized by ADRH in partnership with the Data Protection Commission of Ghana.
The Summit will be on the theme: “Defining Africa’s Digital Future: from Consumerism to Partnership.”
It said the Summit would bring together cyber security experts, researchers, policy makers, regulators, data controllers and processors, innovators, tech companies, the business community as well as relevant experts globally.
It said the African Continent continued to experience rapid digital transformation driven by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and big data analytics.
The statement added that the protection of personal information had become both a pressing challenge and a critical opportunity.
It said it would also bring together key stakeholders to discuss the evolving data protection landscape in Africa, explore how innovation can coexist with data protection and privacy, and chart a collective path toward responsible, secure, and inclusive digital development for all Africans.
The highlight of the 2025 Summit is the PICCASO Awards Africa, an award ceremony organized by PICCASO, a U.K-based organization in collaboration with ADRH to recognize and celebrate African excellence and innovation in data privacy, cyber security, compliance and data ethics.
“The Summit will reinforce the urgent need to protect and safeguard personal data in this era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, while fostering an enabling environment for the responsible collection and use of personal data as a strategic resource for socio-economic development,” it said.
It would also offer participants valuable opportunities to network, share knowledge, celebrate excellence and gain insights that strengthen collaboration and advance data protection across Africa.
