Founded by Ndapa Nakashole in 2021, Okalai’s work is organized into two main areas: 1) Okalai@home, and 2) AI-focused events.

Okalai @ home project: We are developing language technologies for Namibian languages with a focus on both models and data.

Okalai AI Events. At Okalai AI, we host flagship events in Namibia that bring together students, educators, and industry professionals. Our meetings are designed to enhance AI skills while building a thriving community. With our new biennial schedule, we look forward to seeing you in 2026!
