Big news! Our CEO, Nivi Sharma, will pitch Bridges to Prosperity at the Africa Sustainable Futures Awards tomorrow in London! She’ll showcase our work identifying Africa’s unmapped rivers across Ethiopia, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia. With the help of Fika Map—a dynamic machine-learning tool developed with the Better Planet Laboratory at the University of Colorado Boulder—we can predict unmapped waterways and pinpoint infrastructure needs to connect communities to essential services. Honored to be part of an event that celebrates transformative, sustainable solutions for Africa’s future, led by The Financial Times and the World Bank Group’s Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA). Stay tuned for updates, and wish us luck! #AfricaSustainableFutures #InnovationForImpact #FTAfricaSummit2024 #FTAfrica Fope Adelowo, Wayne Hennessy-Barrett, Aubrey Hruby, Nkem Onwuamaegbu, Aanu Adeoye 👉 https://lnkd.in/gyzzWQkQ
