Experts will also discuss mentorship, funding, and scholarship opportunities within the ITU ecosystem.
Key discussions will cover:
• Achievements of Zimbabwean teams in AI and ML competitions.
• ITU initiatives and resources available for industry professionals, researchers, and students.
• A roadmap for participation in ITU’s “AI for Good 2025” program.
