Expand North Star – a strategic part of leading global tech show GITEX GLOBAL – is the world’s largest startup and investor event, which showcases startups in front of tech industry professionals from more than 100 countries worldwide.
Unmissable on Day 01 of the event (October 13, 2024) was Founder & COO of MyFoodAngels, Olapeju Umah.
MyFoodAngels (formerly known as Mile12marketwoman) relies on AI-driven logistics to close the gap of access to organic farm produce by connecting farmers and consumers, and especially tackling Nigeria’s peculiar challenge of acute post-harvest loss.
The role of AI in logistics is to ultimately streamline operations across order processing, inventory management, supply chain, and distribution -in order to automate routine tasks, reduce costs, improve efficiency and provide better customer service.
Realising that Artificial Intelligence performs even better when humans are involved in validating processes, Ms. Umah works comprehensively behind the scenes to ensure that registered farmers and wholesalers supply fresh, optimum produce.
