[EN] As part of the Humanitarian Innovation Accelerator Pitch Event, held during #LUVentureDays, Luxembourg’s Development Cooperation celebrated the first anniversary of the Strategic Partnership on Artificial Intelligence in Humanitarian Action, launched last year together with the WFP Innovation Accelerator, CERN, and the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST). This partnership harnesses artificial intelligence to accelerate humanitarian impact, combining scientific research, operational reach, and policy leadership to deliver innovative solutions for people in need. As early results and lessons learned begin to emerge, we look forward to continuing this collaboration and further exploring the potential of AI for humanitarian action.
