The past six days have been nothing short of inspiring — packed with learning, sharing, and networking at its best.
The final day of
#DLI2025 opened with a powerful keynote from
@DMachuve, Cofounder and CTO of DevData Analytics. She spoke on End-to-End Deep Learning for Chicken Disease Diagnosis, showing how AI can move beyond labs into farms to strengthen agriculture, food security, and livelihoods.
From there, we moved into half-day workshops. Our Chief Technology Officer,
@IfeAdebara, joined other panelists at the co-organised Voice of Africa Volume 2: Advancing Innovations for African Natural Language Processing (NLP). The session focused on how research and collaboration in African NLP are tackling challenges around resources, models, and scale.
The day closed on a high with the awards ceremony, where our communities —
@AbujaDsn and
@AiPlus_FUTA — proudly claimed first and third place in the Community Challenge Competition. A momentous win that reflects the quality and impact of what we’re building in Africa.
And then came the big announcement: Nigeria will host
@DeepIndaba 2026. The giant of Africa is ready to welcome the continent.
We return with new lessons, stronger connections, and fresh opportunities to harness. The journey continues, and we can’t wait to walk hand in hand with the AI community across Africa when the Indaba comes to Nigeria.
