The 3rd edition of Orange Summer Challenge brought together teams of Ivorian students to present innovative solutions focused on sustainable development. The event, which was held on November 10, 2023 in Abidjan, had the theme of Artificial Intelligence of Objects (AIoT). The teams, made up of students from the best universities and colleges in the country, presented projects focused on safety, health and agriculture, thus responding to the challenges of sustainable development.
Among the four projects presented, COCOA SHIELD, an Agritech solution aimed at protecting cocoa crops against a viral disease called “swollen shoot”, won first place. The winning team received a reward of 5,000,000 FCFA as well as personalized support from experts at the Orange Digital Center. Orange Digital Center has been committed for several years to supporting young Ivorians by helping them develop their projects and create their own start-ups.
The Orange Digital Center OSC is a summer internship in the form of a three-month international competition, allowing young participants to acquire skills in software development, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, with the aim of designing innovative technological solutions with strong social impact. The main objective of this event is to develop the digital know-how of young people and help them find value-added jobs while promoting entrepreneurship, according to Ms. Diack Latifa, Deputy Director of Innovative Services and Solutions at Orange Ivory Coast.
