Working in collaboration with NVIDIA Inception, the initiative will aim to empower African AI startups with the support and resources needed to grow.There is no denying the influence generative artificial intelligence is having on the digital world but the technology has reached a point where it needs to evolve from being a chatbot and image generator into something more.
“We are pleased to offer AI startups in Africa the necessary resources and support for their success,” says Gerald Maithya, General Manager of the Microsoft Africa Transformation Office. “As part of the initiative, Microsoft will work with NVIDIA Inception to help fast-track AI transformation in Africa. Entrepreneurs will gain the tools needed to export their solutions globally, including receiving mentorship, access to essential tools like Microsoft Azure and GitHub, go-to-market support, and technical resources, along with valuable networking opportunities,” the Redmond-based firm said in a press release.
