Building Bridges Through AI: Collaborating with University of Tokyo's Matsuo-Iwasawa Lab

This past weekend we had the privilege of collaborating with the Matsuo-Iwasawa Lab U-Tokyo at The University of Tokyo to deliver an intensive data science and machine learning program for 50 students from UCT's Faculty of Commerce. Over two transformative days, students gained hands-on experience with real-world applications of AI in business, learning directly from leading Japanese industry experts and participating in engaging workshops. The program concluded with a competitive machine learning challenge that showcased their newly acquired skills.

We're thrilled to celebrate our three exceptional winners - Amukelani, Samantha, and Lathitha - and extend our deepest appreciation to our partners at the Matsuo-Iwasawa Lab for making this incredible cross-continental learning opportunity possible.
