Driving Innovation in Emerging Markets
We had the opportunity to learn from Steven Koltai of MIT, a renowned expert on innovation in emerging markets. His invaluable insights have inspired and empowered over 90 young innovators across Ghana, South Africa, Nigeria, and beyond.
From navigating cultural and regulatory differences to nurturing innovative ideas, Steven's expertise is shaping the next generation of changemakers.
"Prioritize Market Research for local & Global markets - it's crucial for innovation"
Another highlight was the emphasis on team-building. Steven underscored the need for assembling diverse teams with strong expertise and finding mentors to provide guidance along the journey.
Ethical Use of AI & Robotics in Education
We recently hosted a transformative faculty workshop focused on the ethical use of AI and robotics in education. The event featured inspiring talks from global leaders in AI; Matthew Chavira of Hanson Robotics & Abran Maldonado of OpenAi, exploring how these technologies can revolutionize learning and prepare African students for a tech-driven future.
"Don't fight against innovation - adopt, adapt and use Ai rightly"
Abran Maldonado followed with a compelling talk on Gen AI and preparing students for an augmented tomorrow. He emphasized Africa's vital role in the global market and advocated for adopting AI to preserve cultural relevance.
