#DYK that satellite data + #AI can uncover hidden pollution hotspots in African cities? At @DeepIndaba #DLI2025 poster session in Kigali 🇷🇼, our team showcased how we’re using AI to transform #airquality management: 🔹 Estimating & validating #AirPollution by combining satellite data with on-ground monitors. 🔹 Detecting stationary pollution sources like factories using machine learning & satellite imagery. 🔹 Turning complex datasets into actionable insights that policymakers and communities can use to build cleaner, healthier cities. We’re excited to share, learn, and collaborate with Africa’s #AI community, driving innovations that improve #AirQuality in African Cities @pro_napro

Another important session at #DLI2025. The Women in Machine Learning (WIML) event was dedicated to an open discussion on the challenges women face in the field, and to exploring potential solutions. The conversation continued at the community social, where connections were strengthened and new bonds were forged, reinforcing the collaborative spirit of the Indaba. #DLI2025 #Indaba2025 #Urunana
