NOViQ has officially joined the Launch Stage of the AI Startups Center at the Ethiopian Artificial Intelligence Institute (EAII), as part of the program's second cohort.
NOViQ joins the program with nearly 2,000 students now using the platform. NOViQ serves students from high school through college freshman year, with SI (Super Intelligence) or AI-powered, on-demand audio-visual learning classes and lectures across more than 30 subjects. Alongside the classes, NOViQ provides gap analysis after quizzes and exams, giving students a clear picture of which topics they actually need to work on instead of just a raw score.
NOViQ also has a community feature where students can form study groups, help each other with questions, and connect with other students across the platform.
The AI Startups Center is a 6-month acceleration program run by EAII, supporting Ethiopian AI startups with technical support, business training, and networking opportunities to help them grow and connect with the wider AI ecosystem. EAII was launched in 2020 by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed , before AI had become mainstream globally , making it one of the first and most advanced AI institutes in Africa.
"Joining the AI Startups Center is a good opportunity for us," says Eyob Abebe, founder of NOViQ. "It gives us access to support and connections that can help us build NOViQ into something bigger "
"We're still early," Eyob adds, "but this helps us move faster toward what we're trying to build."
