Through collaborative efforts and open communication, organizations can cultivate innovation by collectively exploring new ideas and approaches.

This involves fostering a culture of continuous learning and empathy, utilizing an iterative process of testing and refining ideas.

By sharing resources and expertise, entities embark on shared journeys of discovery, nurturing innovation along the way.

Imagine a child using technology be it a computer to explore the world around them.

Every click, or search opens up new doors of discovery, allowing them to learn about different places, cultures, and ideas.

Just like a spark ignites a fire, a child's curiosity ignites endless possibilities in the digital world, where they can uncover knowledge, connect with others, and shape their understanding in the world in exciting ways.

__Building the future!

I want you to look at this short YouTube video and tell me what you think:

As you can see, it is a “flying boat” powered by electricity, just like a Tesla car. The inventor is 37-year-old entrepreneur Dr Sampriti Bhattacharyya who I met a few weeks ago in Silicon Valley.

After graduating from a small community college in her home country of India, Sampriti looked to expand her with an internship working overseas. She didn't know anyone in the USA so she did something most of you can do... she Googled "American internships," did research, and then applied... to about 540!!

! In her search, she sent hundreds of emails but received only four responses, and one acceptance... from Fermilab, a particle physics laboratory that promised to pay her about US$9/hour. At 20 years of age then, this entrepreneur-in-the-making flew to the USA, with $200 to her name.

As an intern at Fermilab she had a chance to work with advanced machines and computers, and she said that's when she fell in love with "hands-on building, coding, and solving hard problems". When asked about what she would have done if Fermilab had not offered her an internship, Sampriti said she would go on to email 500 more companies!!

You can read more in the Afterthoughts about her journey so far that's included a Masters in Aerospace Engineering, a stint at NASA, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where she received her PhD. [You ask any engineer and they will tell you MIT is one of the best and hardest universities in the world!]

In 2020, while the world was reeling from the pandemic, Sampriti co-founded NAVIER to develop this amazing flying boat, an electrified hydrofoil with intelligent software and design like an airplane. It can glide smoothly over the water, even in very rough seas! Wow! [It's named after a Scientist from the 1800s!)

We to .

Believe you me, Navier is a tough, tough engineering marvel, even though it looks simple. It takes the latest engineering know-how including the use of AI to pull that off!

Whilst in Silicon Valley recently, I visited Sampriti's workshop to meet with her and the amazing team she has assembled. I also had a chance to take the boat for a spin, or should I say a "flight"! It's quiet, efficient, fast, zero-emission, and very cool to captain!

Only a week before my visit, Elon Musk had taken Navier out for a spin, too!

"No one thought maritime was backable," she said, but she ...

Now that Sampriti's is a and she has assembled a team of world-class , investors are bearing down her door!

"In an age where we are afraid that we will lose jobs with AI," Sampriti remarked, "I envision a new booming economy that can be unlocked with such scalable transportation".

I met an old friend of mine, a billionaire who invests in like Sampriti's, and he told me that he remembers going for a spin in Elon Musk’s prototype Tesla, before investing.

“That’s how they all start!” he quipped.

"That young lady will be a billionaire with her innovation,” and I agreed.

I would love to have some of her boats on the Zambezi River, cruising towards the Vic Falls; what do you think?

What about those of you who live in coastal cities or islands, with lots of pollution and traffic?! Did you know 46% of the world live in coastal cities? Got you thinking?

Homework: From the things I have told you in the past, why don’t you list at least three lessons you have learnt from this. Start with The Drucker Formula: Innovation + Marketing - Cost = Profit.

Our Story

AEJ NextGen Innovations or AEJNI - is an interdisciplinary research and training organization. It was established by the statement "To Be A Next Generation Innovative Leader" by the Young African Leadership Initiative (YALI) Regional Leadership Center, East Africa (Nairobi Kenya) as part of an effort to invest in the next generation young leaders. It's main objective is to create and establish fruitful cooperation between the academic community and industry, SMEs, NGOs, public administration, local community, banking and financial institutions for coordinating the efforts in spreading the Research, Innovation and Technologies (RITs) wide implementation and use.

AEJNI through it’s core values of inclusion, inventiveness and integrity is working to take a lead in directing young people to harness resources for their future development. At it’s infancy we’re trying hard to be responsive to the demands of hopeless and less privileged youth by training and building capacity through the ICT-based inclusive education and training program (IETP).

#ThisKey2018 Initiative is a project being developed by the IETP to bring its activities to the attention of young people with aspiring next generation young minds. Activities involved include; workshops, seminars, outreaches, community work, volunteering, conferences among others which are intended to create opportunities for them to take a lead in building up their communities.

All in all the ideology of the existence of AEJNI is to ensure that young people take the lead in championing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
