African AI start-ups don't stall for lack of talent. They hit walls of compute, data & institutional adoption. At #DLIndaba2026, Lagos, @AIHub4SD & the Nigeria AI Scaling Hub convene governments, partners & innovators to co-design a new scaling model #ScalingAfricanAI #AI4Africa

AI is transforming societies. But it is entering public systems faster than governance can keep pace. Drawing on engagements in 11 countries & territories, this new report examines what AI adoption in practice reveals about trust, safety & AI performance➡️bit.ly/SmallStatesBigSignals

Earlier today at @ITU_AIForGood. Proven solutions, once deployed in one context, can enable the next adopter with the know-how to scale. That's what #100AIPathways are about - join the convo! #AIHub4SD #100AIPathways #AI4Africa

Progress in AI adoption is best measured by solutions that can be replicated, adapted, and deployed where they're needed. That's what #100AIPathways leads. . Join us📍Solutions Stage 📷 9 July | Geneva #AIHub4SD #AIforGood #100AIPathways #AI4Africa bit.ly/4oUTA5g

#AI infrastructure that works: East African engineers trained a Luganda AI model on the Leonardo supercomputer and got it running offline on a $150 device—no internet required. This is about building and financing AI infrastructure! Read more: bit.ly/4oINVze #AIHub4SD

It's an operational bridge. Curated startup pitches. Thematic working tables on sustainable AI infrastructure, climate and energy systems, and education and health. Pre-scheduled B2B meetings. Structured follow-up mechanisms. Soft-landing pathways through the Torino Talent Gateway. The thesis we've carried from Kampala to Nairobi to Delhi to Abu Dhabi remains the same: AI that doesn't work offline, doesn't speak local languages, and doesn't keep data sovereign isn't infrastructure. It's a dependency. Turin is where that thesis meets the companies that can help scale it. @AIHub4SD | Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy | ITCILO | UNDP | City of Turin | @UNDP in Italy | UNDP Digital, AI and Innovation Hub (Accelerator Labs) | UNDP Rome Centre | CTE NEXT | Unione Industriali Torino #AIHub4SD #TurinAIHub #MatteiPlan #AI4Africa #BuildWithAfrica
