Talk / Overview

In most African countries, natural capital accounts for between 30 percent and 50 percent of total wealth. The continent is endowed with 65% of the world’s uncultivated fertile land and 30% of its mineral resources, yet it contributes only 3% to global GDP. In addition, frequent food and water scarcity still plague the continent despite having such enormous resources. One reason for this is the lack of reliable and trustworthy data, which has held back Africa’s development for decades by hampering business decisions and capital allocation, as well as making it difficult to measure the impact of climate change. In this session, we will explore how Amini.ai is harnessing the power of Geospatial data and Artificial Intelligence to address some of Africa's most pressing and urgent challenges, with a focus on adapting to climate change and enhancing food security across the continent.
