This exclusive program encourages the youth to explore, deepens their knowledge and enables them to take action to solve real-world problems using scientific grounds and technology, as well as developing research, innovation, and networking skills.

There will also be a number of technical workshops and related events like the Industry Summit, the finals of Africa IoT & AI Challenge, Women in Tech Summit, IEEE Summit for 5G Technologies.

Sayed Hashish, GM of Microsoft, said, “At Microsoft, we are fully committed to empowering manufacturers in making these transitions to digital, through cutting edge offerings such as Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing as well as our focus on research through initiatives such as Manufacturing Core, which focuses on innovative ideas and technological solutions to make manufacturing more efficient and competitive.”

At 5 milliseconds, current DNS latency is too high to support many 5G applications. For example, in 5G deployments, AR/ VR, gaming, connected cars, and telesurgery will require latency of 1-10 milliseconds. Current DNS latency is unacceptable. Pervasive connectivity of 5G will increase reliance on edge computing, which brings cloud resources compute, storage, and networking—closer to applications, devices, and users.

The 6G network could potentially supersede the existing networks and facilitate the development of a completely new type of internet. 6G uses higher-frequency radio bands, speeds are expected to be much faster and the “latency” to be lower.
