Celebrating Collaboration and Innovation at the ANDE Pan African Conference

At TechQuest Stem, we are proud to have been part of the incredible conversations at the ANDE Pan African Conference—an event that truly demonstrated the power of collaboration in fostering inclusive entrepreneurship across Africa. The conference brought together change-makers, innovators, and leaders from diverse sectors, each working toward a shared vision: driving sustainable growth and positive change on the continent.

Dr. Itoro Emembolu’s Spark Talk on Research Exchange

Our very own Director, Dr. Itoro Emembolu, took the stage to deliver an insightful spark talk on Research Exchange. Her presentation underscored the critical need to bridge the gap between research and real-world applications, enabling both researchers and practitioners to leverage their collective knowledge for lasting impact.

Dr. Emembolu emphasized three key pillars in her talk:

• Visibility: Bringing research findings into the spotlight to ensure their relevance and application.
• Collaboration: Fostering cross-sector partnerships to turn research into actionable insights.
• Measuring Outcomes: Establishing clear metrics for success to drive innovation and sustainable growth.

By focusing on these areas, Dr. Emembolu reminded us that innovation thrives when research is not just confined to academic spaces but is actively applied in ways that benefit real-world communities.By focusing on these areas, Dr. Emembolu reminded us that innovation thrives when research is not just confined to academic spaces but is actively applied in ways that benefit real-world communities.

Looking Ahead: Turning Ideas into Action

The discussions we’ve had during this conference were inspiring and motivating. At TechQuest, we are excited about translating these thought-provoking ideas into practical solutions that have a tangible, long-term impact across Africa. Together, we can continue to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem that is not only innovative but also inclusive, helping to uplift communities and drive economic development.
