Arnergy has launched a tech competition in Nigeria called the ‘NextGen GreenTech Demo’ competition, designed to inspire solution-based thinking among Nigeria’s next-generation talents in the area of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
Speaking about the tech competition, CEO of Arnergy, Femi Adeyemo, said with Nigeria’s teeming intelligent young minds and exceptional youth talents, it became imperative to encourage young, brilliant minds in STEM to join the ongoing science and technological efforts and collaborations to accelerate the advancement of green technologies, reduce the negative impacts of climate change, and improve life quality in communities.
“Beyond pushing boundaries in green and sustainable technologies in Africa, we must create vibrant ecosystems that nurture and empower the next generation of GreenTech leaders to entrench continuity, Arnergy is passionate about encouraging intelligent young minds in STEM to step up and lead the next phase of innovation and leapfrog Africa’s sustainable development,” Adeyemo said.
Vice President, Techincal Operations at Arnergy, Azeez Onasoga, said: “We must prioritise sustained investments in incubating our vibrant young minds in Africa and ensure they play active roles in the ongoing technological evolution. Africa’s pool of exceptional young talents can lead and shape the global future of sustainable technology in the coming years.”
Arnergy is passionate about women in the STEM field, and we encourage eligible female students to embrace the opportunity and further push the boundaries in sustainable development, Adeyemo said, adding that the ‘NextGen GreenTech Demo’ is an excellent avenue for our brightest young minds to birth and develop powerful ideas and innovations towards achieving our collective goals of building a sustainable and prosperous Africa.
