GITEX AFRICA 2024 (https://www.GITEXAfrica.com/), one of the continent’s largest technology exhibitions, offered a unique platform for innovative companies, industry leaders and start-ups to showcase their cutting-edge solutions and exchange groundbreaking ideas.

Performance of Verve Technologies

At GITEX AFRICA 2024, Verve Technologies presented two flagship projects: Dariwatt (https://Dariwatt.com/) and SS Konstruct (https://SSKonstruct.com/).

DariWatt: DariWatt is a patented solution consisting of a device that is easily integrated into your electrical panel and allows you, via a mobile application, to consult in detail the energy consumed in your home, thus helping you to control your electricity bills. Thanks to Artificial Intelligence, DariWatt can detect every appliance in your home and alert you in the case of anomalies.
SS Konstruct: SS Konstruct is a revolutionary solution that simplifies and improves all aspects of your construction projects. Our solution guarantees the safety, quality and profitability of your construction sites. Through our mobile application you can manage reserves, non-conformities, view your plans in 3D and share detailed reports with your partners.

Visitors to our booth 18B33-18B34 had the opportunity to discover these innovations and meet our experts for live demonstrations and in-depth discussions on our areas of expertise.

We were delighted to participate in GITEX AFRICA 2024. This event allowed us to show off our technological advancements and connect with potential partners, customers, and industry leaders. Our Dariwatt and SS Konstruct projects have been very well received, and we look forward to seeing how they will impact the African market and beyond.

The African Development Bank (www.AfDB.org) and technology giant Intel have formalized their cooperation to transform the African digital ecosystem. The partnership aims to equip 3 million Africans and 30,000 government officials with AI skills.

Sealed at the recent African Development Bank’s Annual Meetings in Nairobi, Kenya, the deal will help create a critical mass of Africans proficient in Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) skills to accelerate growth and productivity and position Africans as contributors, not just consumers of 4IR. The training will address socio-economic challenges and boost productivity in key growth sectors such as agriculture, health, and education, thereby disrupting traditional growth cycles.

Bienvenu Agbokponto Soglo, Director of Government Affairs Africa and IGA CTO Liaison at Intel stated, “Intel looks forward to furthering its collaboration with African governments to make advanced technologies such as AI accessible to all, breaking down barriers related to geography, gender, and ethnicity, and enabling widespread participation in the digital economy.”

The partnership will also support African countries, regional economic communities, and continental organizations in developing harmonized policy and regulatory frameworks in AI, 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, data and cloud.

Ousmane Fall, African Development Bank’s Acting Director of Industrial and Trade Development, underscored the importance of digital skills for Africa’s youth. “With advancements in digital technology, our world is rapidly evolving, and so is our youthful population, projected to reach 830 million by 2050. To develop skills on a large scale and at the necessary speed, we need everyone’s cooperation,” he said. “The Bank is thrilled to collaborate with Intel to work towards this shared commitment. Together, we are shaping the digital future of Africa and empowering our youth.”
