CAMBRIDGE, UK – 16 December 2021 – OKRA.ai has collaborated with the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) on a groundbreaking publication focusing on the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by SMEs. OKRA.ai supported UNIDO in creating policy guidance for the implementation and adoption of AI in developing countries.
UNIDO together with the United Nations International Trade Centre and International Telecommunication Union published: Empowering SMEs of Developing Countries through 4IR Technologies-Artificial Intelligence. The normative document aims to give guidance to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries for the adoption and application of artificial intelligence (AI).

OKRA supports the digital transformation needed for developing countries to drive economic growth and advance towards the 4th industrial revolution reaching the 2030 agenda for sustainable development goals.
