WHAT IS THE AI INCUBATOR?
The AI Incubator is an international collaboration space where students, universities, and organizations work together to design innovative AI solutions with real social impact.
It connects the different Souths with each other and with the different Norths, encourages the co-creation of ideas to tackle real-world challenges, and uses multilingualism as a bridge between cultures to promote knowledge exchange.

Plataforma de IA multilingüe para fomentar la colaboración interregional y el desarrollo de startups entre jóvenes emprendedores graduados
The project envisages the development of a multilingual artificial intelligence-driven platform to enable young graduate entrepreneurs to bring their startup ideas to reality. The platform breaks down linguistic barriers using Artificial Intelligence, facilitating smooth communication and teamwork from many cultural and multi-regional backgrounds. This project will enable young graduates to locate the tools, relationships, and resources required to build and ship their first minimum viable project.
Kinang Kindness Cheche
Utilización de llamadas impulsadas por IA para mejorar la salud materna e infantil en regiones remotas de Camerún
The project addresses the problem of access to quality maternal and infant healthcare services in remote regions of Cameroon with the objective of minimizing preventable health complications and reducing the current much too high maternal and infant mortality rates. It will organize a system of AI-powered multilingual calls able to deliver antenatal and postnatal health information, guidance, and reminders to expectant and new mothers and caregivers of infants.
Dennis Tanui
Empoderar a jóvenes de comunidades étnicas marginadas mediante el uso de la IA y el multilingüismo
The project aims to develop an innovative AI-powered multilingual learning platform designed to address critical challenges faced by marginalized ethnic communities in Eastern Africa, ensuring that educational content is not only available but also relevant and culturally sensitive. The methodologies and framework of this platform are designed with scalability in mind, allowing them to be adapted and applied to other marginalized communities globally.

Iniciativa de revitalización de las lenguas indígenas kenianas y de accesibilidad educativa mediante la IA
The project envisages the development of an Artificial Intelligence Language model that will enable university students to access academic content, globally collaborate on projects, innovate across borders, and seamlessly learn in their native languages. AI254 will enhance educational access and inclusion, by bridging some of the existing language barriers, and incorporating students with hearing impairments into the mainstream university education systems through real-time speech-to-text and sign language-to-speech translation and transcription.
Dinah B. Masanda
Soluciones con enfoque de género para el sinhogarismo mediante el uso de IA y apoyo multilingüe
The project aims to develop AI-driven tools tailored to assist homeless individuals, focusing on their specific needs based on gender. It targets in particular Mombasa, where a very diverse population speaks different languages, and where the increasing use of sheng, an upcoming and informal slang, makes very difficult the provision of services. This inherent multilingual feature makes the project adaptable to similar contexts in other world regions.
Yaasir Falana
Aplicación de detección y gestión de enfermedades de los cultivos impulsada por IA para pequeños agricultores
The project addresses the challenges small-scale farmers encounter in maintaining healthy crops and intends to favour a swift farming system transformation focusing predominantly on disease management. To achieve this, the app will provide accessible, AI-powered tools for crop disease diagnosis and management information with user-friendly multilingual proficiency. To foster rapid adoption among small-scale farmers, the project will also encourage community collaboration.
Frank M. Muzhanye
Soluciones impulsadas por inteligencia artificial para la agricultura sostenible
The project aims to overcome some of the barriers faced by small-scale farmers to access relevant information. It will provide a multilingual platform giving access to a wide range of real-time data but also able to be tailored to specific agriculture and population sectors. Because of its very nature, the project is very easily adaptable to the situation in other world regions.
