AfriLabs, the largest pan-African innovation-focused organization empowering and building a community around innovation hubs and other stakeholders, is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Builder.ai. Builder.ai is an AI-powered software designed to help technical and non-technical individuals, organisations and platforms, build and operate software projects. This partnership will give Builder.ai access to the African market, allowing the company to grow trust within the market and relevant stakeholders. In turn, this alliance will be significant for the African innovation and technology ecosystem as it will provide access to Builder.ai Studio Pro and tools. This contribution will drive innovation and economic growth across Africa.
The partnership was unveiled at the AfriLabs Annual Gathering event 2023, which took place in Kigali, Rwanda, from October 11 to 13 where both organizations signed a Memorandum of Understanding. The event brought together innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, and other stakeholders from across the continent to discuss how to accelerate the digital economy in Africa and identify the available opportunities.
Ajibola Odukoya, Chief Operating Officer at AfriLabs, said, “The Builder.ai’s platform plays perfectly into the African context, it uses AI and machine learning to automate app-building processes, making it possible for people without coding experience move to market faster, more efficiently and with ready to scale infrastructure. This is a game-changer for African entrepreneurs and innovators, who often have great ideas to solve local and international problems but lack the time, resources and technical expertise to build the apps and software they need to grow their businesses or initiatives.”
As per Varghese Cherian, Chief Revenue Officer of Builder.ai, “This strategic partnership enables us to expand our offering across Africa and assist all companies from startups to enterprise with acceleration and digitisation. We are excited to work with AfriLabs and contribute to the continued growth of the entire continent.”
