Day 2 at #GITEXNigeria is here! Yesterday set the tone. From the @nvidia masterclasses at Eko Hotel to our founder’s (@bayoadekanmbi) panel on “Scratch to Scale: Building the AI Ecosystem” with @francis_sani and @TiiimaT at Landmark Centre, and our showcase at the Lagos State Government Pavilion at Eko Hotels, the conversations were alive with possibility. One big insight stood out: Africa’s AI ecosystem isn’t just emerging, it’s taking shape. The talent is coming through government-backed programs. Industry support is real, as seen with @nvidia. But to scale, four essentials must hold: talent, compute, research, and policy. The call is clear: a. Build for the users, solving Africa’s unique problems. b. Show the need boldly, and support will follow. As we step into Day 2, the mission sharpens, Africa must lead with intention, designing AI that reflects our people, our cultures, and our economies. And the best part? We’re building it together. #datasciencenigeria #GITEXNigeria
