Google announced the graduation of 15 AI-focused startups from the tenth Google for Startups Accelerator Africa cohort following a demo day in Nairobi.
The company said it received nearly 2,600 applications, meaning fewer than one percent of applicants joined the final cohort. The selected businesses focus on practical commercial and social problems.
Among the companies highlighted was Vambo AI of South Africa, which develops multilingual infrastructure for African languages. The announcement is a company account and should be read as such, rather than an independent assessment of the startups.
