CThe program, which will take place from July 1 to 13, 2024 on the UM6P Campus in Rabat, is part of the actions carried out by Ai movement in its role as a continental hub to promote AI on the continent.

This program takes place in 4 phases. From online training to in-person project incubation and scaling up. Incubated projects will be able to benefit from fundraising at the end of the project.

These women are committed to having a positive impact on their communities through their initiatives,” indicate the organizers.
