Fourth Industrial technologies hold the potential to help Africa address some of its most pressing challenges, from agriculture and food security to financial inclusion and energy access. To fully harness this potential, the continent must invest in developing a skilled workforce collaborating across various industries and stakeholders.

In our third decade we will intensify efforts towards achieving this, including new teaching and research efforts in engineering, data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. By continuing to invest in these cutting-edge technologies and the talent to drive them, Ashesi is preparing Africa for a future where innovation and technology are at the forefront of social and economic development.

• Teaching intelligent computing systems: Establish a postgraduate degree in Intelligent Computing Systems to strengthen leadership in Computer Science and technology within African academia and industry.
• Mechatronics engineering programme expansion: Extend our current postgraduate program in Mechatronics Engineering and introduce a similar undergraduate degree to boost automation and production talent in Africa.
