FAIR v2.0
Apply for FAIR Certification
FAIR isn't just a certificate — it's a passport to the global AI market. Join an ecosystem
of expert guidance, government introductions, strategic partnerships and international visibility.
Start with five questions. No documents, no fee, and about five minutes — we would rather
find out whether FAIR is right for you before asking you to assemble anything.
Not sure yet? Score yourself against the rubric first — free,
no account needed. Prefer to draft offline? Download a worksheet (PDF)
and paste your answers in when you are ready.
What FAIR members receive
Expert guidance — work with sector specialists through every stage of the assessment.
Government & institutional introductions — connections to ministries and international organisations in your target markets.
Strategic partnerships — join a network of certified companies building responsible AI for the Global South.
International visibility — your certified system appears on the public registry, with showcase opportunities at AIFOD summits.
No fee, ever — FAIR certification is free at every stage. No third-party audit required.
FAIR exists for SMEs in developing markets. Same logic as Fairtrade coffee — protecting small producers,
not handing awards to large players. A small company in Kenya or Peru can apply, be assessed by sector experts,
receive support, and have doors opened — all without paying a fee.
