Tech giant HUAWEI CLOUD will be the headline partner of AI Expo Africa 2020, Africa’s largest artificial intelligence (AI), data science and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) trade-focused show and conference. The third edition of the expo will take place online, on 3 and 4 September 2020.
Hosting the event virtually has the benefit of making it accessible to a larger audience, which includes African startups and innovators, as well as European, US, Middle East and Asian companies seeking to enter the African market.
HUAWEI CLOUD is a natural fit for the show. Its’ AI capabilities were recently demonstrated when it successfully implemented a new automated traffic system to ease congestion in Nairobi, Kenya.
