AUI Global, a pan-African executive education provider specializing in artificial intelligence programs, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Konza Technopolis Development Authority (KoTDA) to deliver AI workshops and executive certification programs to the board and staff of Kenya’s flagship smart city. Companies operating within the Technopolis will also be able to register their teams in AUI Global’s certification programs.

Through the MoU, AUI Global will deliver executive workshops and ISO 17024-certified programs tailored to both board members and staff. The programs are designed to build foundational and strategic AI understanding, enable leadership and governance teams to guide AI adoption, and align implementation with smart city and digital ecosystems. 

For AUI Global, the MoU represents an important step in its expansion in East Africa and signals growing recognition of its executive AI training model among leading institutions in the region.
