A strong advocate for open geographic data, she has contributed to inclusive governance, innovation, and entrepreneurship by promoting the reuse of open geodata. She leads hackathons focused on open geodata, artificial intelligence, and climate change adaptation. She also supports startups and companies in the climate-oriented geospatial sector. Since 2021, she has served as President of the National Forum on Climate Change Adaptation (FNACC) and currently chairs the UNESCO Chair in Climate Change Adaptation at Bordeaux INP, France. Through these roles, she highlights the importance of space-based technologies in climate action and supports local initiatives to build sustainable and resilient African cities .

Amine is leading the Applied AI department at InstaDeep. He joined the company eight years ago after a career in software development where he lead engineering teams in various industries (semiconductor, consumer electronics, investment banking). Initially, Amine started deep learning and AI as a hobby, but ended up dropping everything to pursue his goal of deploying artificial intelligence to solve real life problems. He is driven by the ambition of replacing classic operational research techniques with AI. He has a Master of Engineering in software and a Master in Business Administration. .
