Case studies

Testimonials

Omdena recruited a team of more than 50 data scientists around the globe who worked tirelessly over the entire project duration. I´ve rarely seen a team working so hard for a common goal and achieving such tangible results in a short period of time. The project resulted in several outcomes that are extremely promising, not just for Save the Children, but for the entire field of NGOs and other actors in the field.

What is an AI-enabled NGO?

An organization that recognizes the value of data and uses artificial intelligence to deliver some of their services and programs highly efficiently and at a large scale.

The path to becoming AI-enabled

1. Discover

Find out what problems you would like to solve using AI.

Additionally, an organization will need to find out which data sources are available.

2. Agile development

A short, initial innovation project is required to find the best way to solve the problem.

This demonstrates the value of an AI solution both internally and externally.

3. Productionize

The proof of concept is brought into production for the use by stakeholders to generate value.

4. Capacity building

The NGO starts a larger project to build up internal capacities like technical skills and to foster stakeholder collaboration, communication and problem-solving.

The Omdena Platform accelerates your journey

Spanning across 100 countries, 50 local chapters, and more than 4,000 collaborators
