PUBLICATIONS & MEDIA
Synapse Magazine – The Voice of African AI & Data Science

AI TV is a streaming channel that forms part of our wider vision to create an AI Powered Future for Africa. Our goal is to inform people about what to expect as we embrace the fourth industrial revolution in Africa for social and economic benefit. We interview thought leaders and innovators driving AI & Data Science across the region.

ANALYSIS
Joining up the dots in the African IR4.0 landscape
“We found immense value from AI Media helping us navigate the new and expanding AI ecosystem in Africa – large corporates can find numerous partnering, product and service offerings from the innovators showcased at Africa’s largest Business focused community event” Zimkhita Buwa, Chief Operating Officer at Britehouse
We are frequently asked to help organisations understand the local and regional detail of the African AI & Data Science market. Its one of the most rapidly developing sectors and we provide consulting support ranging from Ambassadorial Delegations and Investors to Start Ups and Corporates seeking clarity on the B2B / B2C and Investment climate across the continent. We also provide analysis reports and introductions on a consulting basis.
COMMUNITY
Building a sustainable community to grow beyond today
Many media and events companies fail to build sustainable business models as they dont take a long term view of the market and dynamic of a rapidly changing media landscape. We at AI Media are building for the long term and have created a sustainable community based movement that welcomes a diverse set of people from all 4 corners of Africa. Our content, groups, events and publications all have a FREE point of entry whilst providing meaningful CxO and Investor level insights via paid for seminars, conferences and workshops. Our open approach to partnering creates a win win for the entire community.
