Mizan Institute of Technology staff and selected students completed an inspiring study visit to the Ethiopian Artificial Intelligence Institute (EAII) — a defining moment for our AI-minded learners.

During this historic tour we observed firsthand how the institute is applying artificial intelligence to solve national challenges across health, agriculture, transport and other strategic sectors.

Highlights from the visit

  • Sector applications: Practical AI deployments creating momentum in essential industries.
  • Research & development: Advanced work in robotics, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision and other frontier technologies — plus EAII's large-scale data center.
  • Startup support: Encouraging programs for young innovators and early-stage founders with technology ideas.
  • National vision: EAII's strategy to position Ethiopia as a leading AI hub in Africa.

This visit sparked new ambition in our students. To close Ethiopia's shortage of skilled AI practitioners, Mizan remains committed — with urgency — to producing competitive, job-ready professionals.

Together we build tomorrow's Ethiopia through technology.
