Fellow leads Youths Without Borders entrepreneur camp
Inspired by her TechWomen experience, fellow Nesrine Ben Yahia (Tunisia, 2023) recently spearheaded, ‘Entrepreneurial Artificial Intelligence: Opportunities & Challenges,’ a two-day training session and entrepreneurship competition in collaboration with Jeunes Sans Frontières (JSF, Youths Without Borders) of Matouia.
Nesrine served as a mentor, introducing the basics of artificial intelligence and its potential uses to boost entrepreneurship. She then provided design thinking and pitch coaching to prepare the youths for the entrepreneurship competition, which took place before a jury of judges. The training concluded with awards and certificates of participation.
“TechWomen helped me build skills that have made me stronger and more community-minded,” shares Nesrine, a professor of computer science at the National School of Information Sciences (ENSI). She also serves as the head of the Information and Decision Systems department and a senior research at the RIADI Laboratory.
