Testimonials

Prof. Eesa M. Al Bastaki President of University of Dubai

I consider Africa Ai & IoT Challenge as a noble initiative. It is first of all capacity building towards incubation, especially for senior students and also for startups that are going to go to a technology. It is free of charge, no fees, and the organizers are not asking for any equity. Its main cause and intention is to create the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem to produce knowledge—made locally, sold globally. When you look at two areas, IoT and AI, I think they're the heart of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Thanks for all those responsible for the organization.

Dr. Amr Almaddah Deputy Minister for Hajj and Umrah Services

Our transformation journey in the Hajj and Umrah ecosystem, guided by Vision 2030, focuses on three key objectives: enabling more Guests of Allah to perform rituals, enhancing service quality, and enriching their overall experience. Success requires collaboration between the public and private sectors, entrepreneurs, and global innovators. Together, we can deliver groundbreaking solutions to improve the world’s most complex service system, ensuring an exceptional and meaningful journey for millions annually.

Dr. Ashutosh Dutta Director, Doctor of Engineering Program at Johns Hopkins University.

This is my first time attending the activities of the Deep Tech MEA Initiative, and I am truly impressed by the involvement of startups, universities, and large companies collaborating and interacting in this incredible initiative. It is inspiring to see how the MEA region fosters new technologies and builds an ecosystem that attracts talent, facilitates the exchange of ideas, and lays the foundation for plans that will shape the future over the next decade.
