Africa Receives Just 0.02% of Global AI Funding in Q2 2025 Amid $47.3 Billion Surge
- AI startups globally raised $47.3 billion in Q2 2025, marking the second-highest funding quarter ever.
- The United States secured $39.7 billion in funding, accounting for 83.9% of the global total.
- African AI startups raised only $14 million, representing just 0.02% of the global funding.
The stark funding disparity between regions, particularly the minimal support for African AI startups, raises concerns about equity in the global tech landscape. While the overall growth in AI funding is promising, it is crucial to address the systemic barriers that prevent diverse regions from accessing necessary capital.
