This partnership represents a significant step in accelerating digital transformation in Africa and will see the two organisations collaborate on several initiatives.

This partnership underscores their mutual commitment to nurturing AI talent and innovation throughout the continent.
Zindi CEO and Co-Founder, Celina Lee states:
“Zindi is thrilled at the opportunity to partner with Cassava Technologies to strengthen African datasets and address local problems with locally developed solutions. Using Cassava’s GPU capabilities, which are essential for handling the large and complex computations that AI and machine learning models require, and collaborating on the launch of a competition specifically aimed at nurturing Africa’s AI talent will not only expose entrepreneurs and innovative solutions; it will help build new skills and create employment opportunities,”
With the signing of this MOU, Cassava and Zindi are set to make significant inroads in Africa’s AI landscape.
