The challenge provides a structured platform with three stages: initial submissions, technical reviews and refinements, and live pitches at the Summit. Participants will be evaluated on relevance and impact (30%), technical soundness (25%), innovation (20%), scalability (15%), and presentation quality (10%). Organised as part of the Ghana AI Summit ecosystem, it aims to harness collective innovation, foster collaboration between technologists and domain experts, generate actionable insights, and showcase AI’s potential for Ghanaian problems.
Dr. Henry Nunoo-Mensah, Network Lead of GAIN expressed enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are excited to be working with the Ghana AI Summit to make this event happen since it provides a practical opportunity for academia to connect with industry to solve important problems facing our society using the power of AI.” Event organizer Dr. Kwami Ahiabenu added: “We are committed to making Ghana’s AI ecosystem more vibrant while serving the needs of society, and this AI innovation challenge actualises this vision.”
