Theia Institute's Academic Roundtable with South Africa and Namibia

It was an honor to collaborate with so many forward-thinking academics from #South_Africa and #Namibia during this #AI #roundtable. I was excited to learn about the many unique opportunities for academic research and commercial development that are being actively explored by the university ecosystems throughout the region.

My gratitude also goes out to the other Theia Institute think tank members who made the event so successful: Doug Shannon, Q Wade Billings, and Riya Patel. Well done, everyone!
