Applications are open for the Google Africa Applied AI Lab, which aims to provide AI entrepreneurs and researchers with technical support and early access to Google AI models.
Based at the Accra AI Community Centre (AICC) in Ghana, the Google Africa Applied AI Lab supports founders from across the continent interested in using the latest AI research to address real-world, uniquely African challenges – and, in turn, “build Africa’s first generation of AI-native unicorn startups”.
The initiative serves as a zero-to-one commercialisation platform, bridging the gap between world-class foundational research and market-ready products. It pairs African founders and researchers directly with Google experts, jointly building AI solutions.
The programme will culminate in a demo day, where startups will present their work from their time in the programme to Googlers, investors, and partners, where they will have the opportunity to receive potential funding and further support.
Applications are open here until August 31, and the programme begins in mid-September.
