ELVIATECH 2024
National Robotics And Artificial Intelligence Olympiad
THEME: Intelligent Innovation for Healthcare
INFORMATION NOTE
Dear ELVIATECH Community,
We are pleased to announce a new strategic partnership aimed at expanding the ELVIATECH Olympiads (the National Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Olympiads) to the sub-regional level. Due to the coincidence of the signing dates of this partnership with the dates initially scheduled for the competition in August 2024, we have decided to postpone the ELVIATECH Olympiads 2024 to December 2024.
The competition format will remain the same as previously announced, and the winner will qualify directly for the sub-regional competition. Registrations are ongoing, and we will keep you regularly informed with updates.
For any questions, please contact us at +237 695 418 674 or by email at [email protected] or [email protected].
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to seeing you in December for an exceptional edition of the ELVIATECH Olympiads 2024!
Best regards,
