Aurora Lab, a Nigerian artificial intelligence innovation centre, has called on organisations and individuals to submit real-world problems for the development of practical, AI-driven solutions.

The centre, also known as Auroralab, said the initiative is aimed at ensuring that artificial intelligence is used to address challenges affecting real people, rather than remaining largely experimental.

Aurora Lab focuses on building indigenous AI engineering capacity while deploying technology to tackle pressing development and business challenges across Nigeria and the wider African continent.

According to the organisers, the innovation hub operates around three core objectives: delivering highimpact AI-driven development solutions for Africa, building AI-powered global business tools, and training world-class Nigerian AI engineers capable of competing internationally.

The centre explained that it is closing a longstanding gap between ideas and impact by creating a pipeline that connects sector experts with deep knowledge of local challenges, Nigerian engineers trained to build practical tools, and development and business partners committed to measurable outcomes.
