CDIAL's Indigenous AI and Stakestack AI drew global investor attention, especially for their local language processing capabilities. Observers called Nigeria's involvement not just symbolic but strategic, aligning with President Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda and Dr. Bosun Tijani's five digital pillars: Knowledge, Policy, Infrastructure, Innovation, and Capital.
The delegation's success reflects Nigeria's evolving role not as an observer but as a global player in AI innovation.
