The launch of ne per cent Cloud and AI Lab in Kenya

At the heart of the Lab’s strategy is a focus on innovations aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that address critical sectors such as poverty alleviation, agriculture, healthcare, education, and financial inclusion. A coalition of leading Kenyan technology organizations has joined forces to launch the “one per cent Cloud and AI Lab,” a co-creation space aimed at nurturing the continent’s next generation of innovators in cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI). The Lab, announced recently through a partnership that includes Siscom, MindIntelligence, AI Kenya, Nafasi, Lyrid.io, Tech Trendz, and Empserve, is set to provide a collaborative platform where developers, AI scientists, and entrepreneurs can build, test, and launch disruptive solutions tailored for African markets. Is Africa catching up with the rest of the world?
