“The Ishango fellows have made a strong contribution to our project, enabling us to accelerate progress. It has been a pleasure to work with Winifred and Stephen. They are talented, enthusiastic and well-supported by the Ishango organisation.”
Steen JoffeDirector, Digital and Data, Africa Practice
“The work done by the Ishango.ai fellows throughout the program led to useful insights for our company. Having now seen it first-hand, there’s no doubt that Africa has excellent and untapped Data Science talent, capable of delivering real business value.”
Hugh TaylorSenior Data Scientist at Omniscient Neurotechnology, Omniscient
“It’s been a great success, It’s added value. The students proved they were extremely skilful. They were really capable of pursuing data science projects with limited supervision. And there were no communication or time difference issues. They really helped our team.”
Krzysztof StecLead Data Scientist at Philip Morris International
“The value we are hoping to get is in their in-process work on a cutting-edge neural network implementation in Python. While the final product isn't deliverable yet, they've made visible steps toward success, and in the modelling phase, they've done faster than I expected.”
