Firstly, it aims to develop and strengthen the AI, technological innovation and leadership skills of 150 African women by 2025. At the same time, the project plans to incubate around thirty entrepreneurial projects initiated by the African women who have benefited from the training. Secondly, the project aims to develop AI-based technologies to solve problems endogenous to the African continent, in particular social, gender, environmental, agricultural, energy, education and health issues. Through the development of innovative solutions with a positive impact on local communities, this initiative contributes to achieving the sustainable development goals of the United Nations&#8217; Agenda 2030 and those of the African Union&#8217;s Agenda 2063.
