Practices
In South African soccer, coaches across all levels face challenges in optimising player performance and tactical strategies due to limited access to comprehensive data and analytics tools. Traditional coaching methods often lack the sophistication needed to identify key insights and trends within vast amounts of soccer-related data. As a result, coaches struggle to make informed decisions, leading to suboptimal player development and team outcomes. Our soccer data analytics innovation harnesses the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide South African coaches across all levels with actionable insights and predictive capabilities. Through sophisticated data analysis, coaches gain a deeper understanding of player performance, tactical trends, and strategic opportunities. Our platform offers customizable solutions tailored to the unique needs and contexts of grassroots programs, schools, amateur clubs, and professional leagues.
Acne is a predominant dermatological condition upsetting a significant measure of the worldwide population. Acne is caused by an interplay of genetic and environmental factors and is generally triggered by hormonal changes accompanying sexual maturation during adolescence. While numerous treatments exist, comprising topical medications and oral therapies, there is an emergent demand for harmless, more effectual, and non-invasive substitutes. This project’s proposal aims to develop innovative cosmetic product (s) specifically designed to target and treat acne, affording a better-quality solution for persons suffering from this condition. There is no SA black owned premium organic beauty and skincare development and manufacturing company that caters for local beauty and skincare needs, specifically for treatment of acne using indigenous plant extracts and in addition is agile and can develop customized products. SEAN PERRY specifically uses a unique biodegradable formulation with extracts from the South African seeds, plants and flowers. The further uniqueness lies in the fact that SEAN PERRY products are made of 99% of the natural ingredients that are organically grown, without pesticides or chemical fertilizers and are not genetically modified. The ability to formulate products, using such ingredients and considering local needs at a reasonable price is what differentiates SEAN PERRY. All skin types, race and age can use the products without any damage to the skin. Some of the products have natural antioxidants which aids in slowing down the ageing process and reduces fine wrinkles and tendency to red botches without of use of preventatives or chemicals. The solution SEAN PERRY is offering is purely organic products specifically designed to prevent severe medical attention should a person (including kids) consume or spray a product on eyes by mistake and also when the products are spilled on the ground, because of the biodegradability properties, they will not harm the environment (soil, water and air).

Enset, a climate-resilient food crop, serves as a staple for over 20 million Ethiopians. The processed products from enset are naturally gluten-free, nutritious, organic, and rich in dietary fiber, making them an essential part of the diet in enset-growing regions. However, the traditional processing methods of enset are highly labor-intensive, time-consuming, and inefficient. These traditional practices require a significant amount of manual labor, primarily from women, and lack consistency in the quality of the final product. Additionally, due to the manual nature of the process, it is challenging to scale up production to meet growing demand, both locally and in potential international markets. This limits the commercial potential of enset as a food product, despite its numerous health and environmental benefits. To address these challenges, an innovative enset processing machine was developed and introduced to streamline the production process. The new machine significantly reduces the manual labor required for enset processing, increasing efficiency and consistency in the quality of the processed products. This technology enables faster processing times, allowing farmers and enterprises to scale up production to meet both local and export demands. Along with the machine, a patented starter culture has been provided to enterprises to ensure the production of high-quality, gluten-free, and organic enset-based products, which meet international standards. By modernizing the enset processing system, this solution not only reduces the burden on women but also unlocks new economic opportunities by expanding access to larger markets.
The problem is the fraud with personal facial biometrics or the spread of fake content, which is caused by increased access to high-quality deepfake generation algorithms, that are much easier to implement than 2 years ago. Fraud: financial institutions / banks or any organization, that uses authentication with facial biometrics can be attacked by intruders, who wish to gain access to credits or other services remotely. For this purpose, they obtain a photo of a person, whith a real client, generate a deepfake and during the videocall with the bank, substitute initial video stream with generated one. The operator of the call on behalf of the organization may not realize that she is talking to a fake as the video stream may be of low quality due to obvious reasons: poor internet connection, low-resolution web camera, etc. Thus, the operator may be mistaken and approve transaction for the fake person. Another problem is the distribution of fake content generated with deepfake technology. To solve these two problems, VisionLabs provides VL DFD – an AI neural networks solution, that is capable of detecting all the most popular visual deepfakes: • Face swap is a method, used to transfer face from a source image (bona fide) to the target video (attacker) • Face reenactment is a method, used to implement mimics of an attacker onto the image of a bona fide person. This type includes lip-sync, the type of deepfake algorithm used to synchronize video and audio. • Face synthesis is a method used to generate synthetic faces of non-existent persons. VL DFD can operate in real-time during a videocall, using 1 frame or n-frames, which is suitable for the financial sector. Additionally, VL DFD can analyze content post-factum to prevent the spread of fake media content VL DFD can operate both on CPU and GPU in the backend. VL DFD receives inputs either from front-end (frames that can be selected using VL frontend solution or using client’s software) or from backend.
Every 4 seconds, there is a case of harassment on Brazilian public transport (Brazilian Public Security Forum, 2018) and 97% of Brazilian women have already suffered harassment in urban mobility (Locomotiva and Patrícia Galvão Institutes, 2019). Given this alarming problem, the question arose: how can we mitigate gender-based violence in urban mobility and make cities safer? Super NINA was created with the aim of combating and preventing harassment and gender-based violence in urban mobility through ICT and artificial intelligence solutions, whose data collection and processing influence governments to promote public policies in favor of safer and more inclusive cities. We provide a standard reporting channel via WhatsApp or any other app, with the aim of standardizing and centralizing reports of sexual harassment in urban mobility. The data collected is made available on a dashboard and assists government agents and private companies in creating public-private policies for urban planning, mobility, and security. In addition, we also offer exclusive consultancy services, which include employee training, communication guidelines, diagnostic research, creation/adaptation of protocols and monitoring of actions.
Inefficiency and poor data transparency are expensive issues faced by public and private sector entities. We provide machine learning and blockchain powered solutions to solve these problems.
