iCog develops practical, data-driven, and inclusive technology that connects learning, innovation, and AI to real outcomes. Our work spans training, product development, and consultancy, helping people and organizations apply technology to solve meaningful problems.
We are an affiliate of iCog Labs, East Africa’s first private AI research and development lab. While iCog Labs focuses on advancing research and experimentation, we turn those insights into applied solutions through programs, tools, and partnerships that make technology accessible and impactful across Ethiopia and beyond.
Ethiopia became home to East Africa’s first private AI research and development lab. iCog Labs focused on AI and robotics long before mainstream adoption, contributing to global projects such as Hanson Robotics’ Sophia the Robot and early natural-language experiments in local languages.
We believe in the power of learning and are committed to making it practical, measurable, and accessible. Our training programs combine data-driven design with hands-on delivery to help individuals build the skills needed for today's digital and AI-driven world. We collaborate with partners across various sectors to expand access to technology education and ensure that learning leads to tangible opportunities.
We focus on turning ideas into technology that works for people. Our team designs and builds AI-powered products and digital tools that address local needs and deliver measurable value. From concept to implementation, we develop solutions that address community challenges, improve efficiency, and demonstrate how innovation can be inclusive and relevant.
We thrive on solving challenges through technology across multiple sectors. With its blend of youthfulness, fresh perspectives, and deep understanding of the local context, our team is uniquely positioned to provide innovative solutions. We offer a tech-forward approach with a blend of emerging technologies and possess the expertise to guide and work with companies looking to implement impactful projects, across multiple sectors, that effectively leverage emerging technologies. Here are some companies we have worked with.
