In Tunisia, the human ecosystem working in the field of Artificial Intelligence has developed significantly in recent years with the emergence of more than forty startups. Despite the lack of data to create effective systems, Tunisian entrepreneurs are trying to innovate both in the technical field and in culture.
In the Punic port of Carthage in Tunis, ruins dating from antiquity come back to life. Not only thanks to the audio guide, but also thanks to a 3D reconstruction, available on one device. A Tunisian family visiting these station facilities watches the station being repaired live by placing a phone in front of each wreck. “ The product is geolocated, for example others who are there are seeing the repair of the contraction of the ships », Explains Houda Bakir, the founder of the concept with its initial History.
The algorithm has been researched for many years
By establishing a startup in 2019, Houda Bakir wants to make the heritage of the past more interactive and immersive. Here in Carthage, the app allows you to see the different historical moments that the port has known. ” It is a country with a lot of history and very rich in different civilizations, we have Romans, Islam, Arab. We have the Numidians. »
To perform the test, Houda and his team spent years refining the algorithm that allowed them to automate these reconstructions. It has to rely on a compilation of extensive historical and institutional data. Gigantic databases are essential for startups working in artificial intelligence, especially in the healthcare sector.
Change of mind
In Monastir, a coastal city Tunisia, the two founders of the innovations of Health have considered a startup that bridges the gap – to facilitate relationships between medical research and technological innovations of entrepreneurs. Mohamed Masmoudi is one of the founders: “ We support startups working with the pharmaceutical industry and help them implement solutions based on artificial intelligence to try to predict the company’s sales figures, for example. »
But to overcome the problems of finding data, we must also go through training and knowledge. ” Now with the high school courses and e-learning platforms that have been put into place, there is really a change in the minds and it is thanks to that that we can move forward. », continues Haroun Ouanes co-founder of the startup.
The health innovation helps around fifteen startups in the field of health and technology and also teaches medical students in artificial intelligence.
