The Engineering
Platform.
The Summit is just the catalyst. The Engineering in Africa Platform is the engine—a continuous ecosystem of programs designed to build the pipeline, accelerate innovation, and engage the public year-round.
Innovation Foundry
University & Early Career Stream
An intensive, multi-week accelerator that bridges the gap between academic theory and industrial application. We select top engineering talent from across the continent to solve real-world challenges posed by our industry partners.
- Design Thinking Workshops
- Industry Mentorship
- Prototype Funding
Engineering Xperience
Secondary School Pipeline
Ideally, engineering starts early. The Xperience is a 3-day immersive bootcamp for Senior High School students from underserved communities. We demystify engineering through hands-on robotics, coding, and fabrication projects.
STEM Festival
Public Engagement
Engineering belongs to everyone. The STEM Festival brings together artisans ("Suame Magazine" mechanics), technologists, students, and the general public to celebrate local innovation and problem-solving.
Support the Festival →Partner with the Platform
These initiatives run year-round and require dedicated partners committed to the long-term engineering capacity of the continent.
