What an exciting time for Africa. The launch of the Africa Centre of Competence for Digital and AI Skilling and the Timbuktoo GreenTech Hub is a statement of intent. These initiatives are about #creatingopportunities, fueling #innovation, and shaping a more resilient and sustainable Africa. The ambition to upskill 100,000 public servants and support 10,000 startups is a bold testament to what’s possible when collaboration meets purpose. Kudos to the first cohort of 30 African innovators stepping into this transformative journey. Their work across #cleanenergy, #lowcarbontech, #digitalization, and #sustainablemobility is exactly what our continent needs to lead the global conversation on green and digital futures. We’re so proud to walk alongside UNDP Kenya on projects like these. We look forward to coordinating the launch of the two projects with his Excellency President William Ruto being the Chief Guest. Together, we’re building legacies. #Sustainability #DigitalAfrica #GreenTech #africanelitepr #PRagency

After months of working behind the scenes, we held a media breakfast ahead of this week's launch of the Africa Centre of Competence for Digital and Artificial Intelligence Skilling and the timbuktoo GreenTech Hub by the President of Kenya, H.E William Ruto. The Africa Centre of Competence is a Flagship regional project on public servants #digital and #Al upskilling led by the Government of Kenya in close collaboration with UNDP and the private sector. It will be prototyped in Kenya and scaled across Africa, intending to train 100,000 public servants over three years. At the same time, the timbuktoo Africa GreenTech hub marks a significant milestone in the journey towards a more #innovative and #sustainable continent by providing more and better early-stage risk capital and building pan-African startups that can scale across the continent. The goal is to support 10,000 start-ups! Together with the team African Elite Group Ltd we received 688 applications from 46 African countries in the following sub-sectors: • Energy Access and Efficiency • Digitalization (Internet of Things, Distributed Ledger Technologies) • Low Carbon and Capture Technology • Innovative #CleanEnergy Business Models • Smart Grids • Energy Storage Solutions • Clean or #RenewableEnergy Generation • Sustainable Mobility • Energy Management Today, the first cohort of 30 African innovators is in Nairobi to start this journey. Thank you, UNDP for trusting us, African Elite Group Ltd with your projects as we walk this journey. CC Martin N.
