Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer the exclusive playground of Silicon Valley.
🌍 Algeria is steadily positioning itself as a key player in IT and AI outsourcing in North Africa, at the crossroads of Europe, the Maghreb, and the Middle East.
With a strong talent pool, a booming tech ecosystem, and Algerian IT service companies (ESNs) focused on exports, the country is now attracting the attention of CTOs, CIOs, and tech founders looking for French-speaking, reliable, agile, and cost-effective IT partners.
🧠 AI talent: locally trained, globally connected
Every year, over 10,000 STEM graduates leave Algerian universities (source: World Bank).
More and more are specializing in artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, and software development.
