The Pakistani startup Motive, formerly known as KeepTruckin, is a huge success. It is a multinational corporation with locations in the US, Canada, Estonia, Pakistan, and Taiwan.
It introduces Artificial Intelligence (AI) to underdeveloped technological sectors that drive the physical economy, including transportation, building, energy, agriculture, and related supply chain sectors.
These companies continue to use intricate operations to transport commodities worth trillions of dollars. In addition to being expensive, ineffective, and time-consuming, it is also insensitive to climate change.
Motive provides them with the tools they need to increase their operations’ productivity, safety, and efficiency.
In the past, technology companies would establish their research and development (R&D) facilities in the developed world and only outsource routine technical tasks to underdeveloped nations like Pakistan.
Motive, however, has made an exemption because Lahore is where it created its main AI team.
By deploying its AI to hundreds of thousands of IoT devices in the field to carry out numerous automation activities, such as driver identification, risky driving behavior detection, and automated teaching, to mention a few, this team has achieved significant progress in the last few years.
Pakistan has a booming young population and is the fifth-largest nation on Earth by population.
Along with being a fantastic engineering hub, our information technology (IT) sector is expanding.
Over 600,000 IT experts work for us, and 25,000 new graduates join the industry every year.
Over 120 countries are served by our approximately 17,000 software companies, who generated $3 billion in IT export earnings last year.
However, despite a large talent pool and reputable colleges, there aren’t many businesses offering services or startups developing products in the AI sector.
Motive is holding its first AI conference in Pakistan in an effort to advance AI, close the industry-academia gap, and inspire more engineering talent to pursue the field.
Motive’s first AI conference in Pakistan is called AI Connect. It has an outstanding speaker schedule that includes some of the best industry experts, leading venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs around the globe.
It aspires to inspire, educate, and connect the upcoming generation of AI researchers and engineers who will contribute to the global AI economy.
On July 13 and 14, 2022, at the PC Hotel Lahore, there will be two days packed with keynote addresses, fireside chats, panel discussions, and networking opportunities.
Register right away if you want to attend the conference and learn more about AI.
