At the The Africa Social Impact Summit (ASIS) in New York, Our founder, Emil Nabo Ekiyor connected with the Governor of Katsina State, Dr. Dikko Umar Radda, as conversations around innovation, investment, and inclusive development took center stage.

The summit also marked an important milestone with the announcement of the InnoPower Indy and Sagamore Institute partnership with ASIS and Sterling One Foundation bringing together organizations committed to creating stronger pathways for African communities, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders.

From global platforms to local impact, meaningful change happens when people, ideas, institutions, and capital come together with a shared vision for Africa’s future.

Africa does not lack potential, rather, it lacks enough pathways to turn potential into ownership.

InnoPower Africa and our partners at Sagamore Institute we believe the future of Africa’s growth must go beyond aid. It must be built around , innovation, access to capital, and opportunities that enable Africans to build and own what they create.

From Lagos to Accra, Monrovia to Lusaka, the challenge is not a shortage of talent or ideas. It is creating the systems, capital pathways, and economic opportunities that allow those ideas to thrive.

At The Africa Social Impact Summit (ASIS) Global Action Forum, on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly, our CEO, Emil Nabo Ekiyor and partners at Sagamore, CEO Jay Hein will join leaders from Sterling One Foundation UNFPA Nigeria Fund (UNFPA), and Sagamore to advance this important conversation.

Because Africa’s next chapter should not only be about receiving support.

It should be about building, investing, owning, and creating value from within.

She came to deepen her AI knowledge. She left equipped to help others learn too. 🚀

For Ngozi Roland-Onuegwunwoke , Founder of SEM Food & Spices, the ESBC AI programme wasn’t her first introduction to Artificial Intelligence.

She already had some knowledge of AI, but through the programme, she expanded that knowledge, gained formal certification and discovered even more practical ways AI can support her business.

But her journey didn’t stop there.

Today, Ngozi says she is excited and confident about training others and sharing what she has learned.

And that is an important part of what we are building at InnoPower Africa.

Beyond introducing entrepreneurs and professionals to the foundations and practical applications of AI, our Master Trainer Programme equips participants with the knowledge and tools to take that learning further empowering them to train others and multiply the impact within their businesses, industries and communities.

Ngozi also gained something equally valuable: an expanded network and access to an ecosystem that is already positively impacting her business.

From knowledge to certification.
From certification to application.
From learning to empowering others.

That’s how impact multiplies. 🌍

🎥 Hear Ngozi share her experience.

Ready to go beyond learning AI to becoming part of the ecosystem driving AI adoption across Africa? Stay connected with InnoPower Africa.

“Nothing short of amazing.” 🚀🌍

That’s how Victor Ogunbiyi, AI Instructor at InnoPower Africa, describes his experience helping people navigate the possibilities of Artificial Intelligence.

From training professionals and CEOs on AI fundamentals to helping participants understand how to leverage AI in their businesses, strengthen their skills and unlock new opportunities, his experience reflects something at the heart of what we do at InnoPower Africa:

Equipping people with the skills they need to participate, compete and thrive in the future economy.

Through initiatives like InnoPower.AI, we’re helping make AI knowledge more practical, accessible and relevant to the people and businesses that can use it to create real impact.

And Victor has a message for anyone considering one of our upcoming training opportunities:

Register. Show up. Give it your best.

Because AI is shaping the future and Africa must be equipped to shape that future too. 🌍
