Gideon Brefo (GH), Chris Emezue (NG), Femi Johnson (NG), Tammy Langtry (ZA), David Shongo (CD) More than 2,000 languages are spoken on the African continent, but they are hardly represented in machine translation and communication programs. This and other facts drive this panel, giving it the basis for a discussion that gathers personalities from different areas of expertise, different countries and with different experiences. Arts, culture, science, technology, business… Africa, Europe… In this conversation, we will discuss ways to re-build the story and pathway of our countries and continents, seeking to know and understand the role that digital, human and arts-driven innovation is and can play in Africa. Moreover, we are interested in mutual learning and improvement.
We are going to seek to understand and identify areas for an enhanced and equal-footing collaboration between Europe and Africa, stimulating the identification of opportunities and the sustainable development of both continents. This conversation intends to be the starting point of a wider discussion. All interested individuals are and will be welcome to contribute
