Aurora Lab, a Nigerian artificial intelligence innovation centre, is launching a bold invitation: bring us your toughest real-world problems and let’s build AI that fixes them.
The initiative challenges the trend of AI remaining in theory, labs, and conferences. Aurora Lab wants solutions that touch everyday lives — in classrooms, hospitals, farms, businesses and communities.
From Ideas to Impact
The hub is built around three ambitious goals:
• Deliver high-impact AI solutions for Africa
• Build globally competitive AI business products
• Train world-class Nigerian engineers ready for the international stage
Aurora Lab says the real breakthrough is in its pipeline — one that connects people who deeply understand local challenges, engineers who can build practical technology, and partners committed to measurable results.
The Problems They Want
Submissions are open across critical sectors, including:
• Education: access, quality, teacher support, learning outcomes
• Healthcare & public health
• Agriculture & food security
• Climate & environmental sustainability
• Economic development & governance
• Business & SMEs: operations, growth, finance, customer engagement
Every idea will pass through a structured review. Selected problems will then be refined and co-created with partners to produce AI tools designed to attack root causes — not just symptoms.
The Bottom Line
If you see a challenge slowing Nigeria or Africa down, Aurora Lab wants to hear from you.
