What makes our e-Learning platform atingi so unique is its focus on local needs. All our learning content is developed in cooperation with a constantly growing partner network, including many African Partners who know the local markets. That’s how we make sure that we provide content that is truly relevant.…

Learners worldwide are canvasing the internet for help with fundamental courses that students take from junior year in high-school to junior year in college. Subjects like Composition, algebra, and chemistry serve as the foundational gateways on which students thrive or drop out of college. Study Hall aims to provide learners…

A key driver for all scientific research is humanity’s natural instinct for exploration. We are driven to go where no one has gone before, discover what no one has found, and study what has never been seen. Scientists follow this exploratory instinct in all kinds of directions, whether it’s space,…

The nominating institute Botswana Innovation Hub on the breakthrough: Mashaba’s consortium mobilises communities to identify challenges and follow a design innovation framework that quickly creates scalable solutions. The model follows a social entrepreneurship route, and establishes sustainable businesses in the communities — thus enhancing their livelihoods. It is being rolled…

We use machine learning to explore quantitative raw material data. Our algorithm delivers process information at unprecedented level of detail, which allows for improving production sustainability.   Tags: Artificial Intelligence, Circular Economy, Digitalisation, Energy, Engineering, Environment & Nature, Future /green cities, Renewable energies.

Our lean ecosystem generation model, emphasises maximising the number of innovation ideas explored and researchers commercially upskilled while minimising costs to support this activity across a city or economic region. We believe that by raising the level commercial awareness and connecting generations of researchers to existing local innovation activity, this…

The nominating institution University of Calgary on the breakthrough: Compared to airplanes, helicopters provide improved maneuverability. But one limitation of rotorcraft is that take-off and landing on non-horizontal surfaces is problematic. Ramirez-Serrano’s innovative design allows flying in impenetrable environments, and performing acrobatic maneuvers at zero speed. Tags: Artificial Intelligence, Engineering,…

Benjamin List: Breaking the Wall to Organocatalysis – Falling Walls Science Summit 2023 Traditional methods of chemical synthesis are laden with hazardous chemicals and heavy metal catalysts, the disposal of which has led to environmental pollution in both land and air, while producing copious amounts of chemical waste. These inefficient…

Digitalisation reduces carbon emissions to a great extent in many sectors and therefore helps to protect the environment. Simultaneously, the increasing use of digital technologies requires an immense amount of energy. To promote a resource-efficient economy, we need to consider energy efficiency and sustainability as core elements – not only…
