Built in and for Africa
Mandate
AURA exists to build the intelligence layer the Group and the continent will run on: applied AI research, model and evaluation tooling, and infrastructure that respects local context, cost, and data constraints.
Why it belongs to the house
Every venture in the portfolio benefits from shared intelligence capability. AURA is where that capability is built once and compounded — the Ludo Principle applied to engineering. It also returns strength to SCHOOL, whose AI tutor depends on this layer.
Public by default
The research programme is published openly. Track the roadmap, the mobility intelligence work, and the economics of the whole compute stack at the terminal — or read the full nine-chapter paper in this very house.
