Africa doesn’t have a talent problem. It has a talent development problem.
This was one of the conversations we had during our latest Startup Founders Talk with Fumnanya, Senior Product Manager at Ampersand Energy, alongside @Rickard , Director of RWBuild and CEO of Guhemba Ltd.
The July edition of Startup Founders Talk, recorded by The Voices Podcast, recorded at Rooftop Ikawa Café is up - watch the full podcast episode: youtu.be/LcGhG3mRwl4?si=HE9j…

This week, we hosted our second Tech Happy Hour at @RwandaBuild.
We had great, honest insights from tech founders on distribution - the real challenges and what actually works in the African context.
A night of good vibes, open discussions, and AMA moments with founders.

Rwanda just did something most ecosystems are still debating - It built a Kinyarwanda ICT dictionary with 1,700+ tech terms! 🙌🏻
This is great! We are all about Rwandans building tech solutions for Rwanda at @RwandaBuild - If people can’t understand technology in their own language, they can’t fully participate in building it.
Rwanda Develops First Kinyarwanda ICT Dictionary
Rwanda has reached a milestone in digital inclusion with its first Kinyarwanda ICT dictionary, compiling over 1,700 tech terms. Developed by the Rwanda Cultural Heritage Academy with partners, it standardises digital vocabulary to make technology more accessible. By translating complex concepts into Kinyarwanda, it challenges the idea that African languages cannot keep pace with innovation.
The dictionary reflects a wider push to preserve linguistic identity in the digital age. Supported by the Rwanda Education Board, it will strengthen education, support AI development, and reduce reliance on foreign languages. As Africa’s tech ecosystem grows, such efforts highlight the need for inclusive, locally rooted digital systems.

Until more than 700 founders, investors, and enablers gather in Kigali to pause the noise for a moment, and focus on what really matters: how Africa’s most ambitious builders and the capital behind them can shape the next decade of innovation together.
We’ve crafted Africa/Week as part celebration, part checkpoint — a moment to look back at how far we’ve come, and to figure out what it’ll take to go further.
From capital to climate, fintech to frontier tech, the continent’s most consequential builders and backers will be in one room — not just to talk, but to design what comes next.
You can still apply for a ticket and join us: norrsken.org/africaweek

Rwanda, in particular, is positioning itself as Africa’s financial innovation testbed.
From digital ID and national e-payments to startup studios like @RwandaBuild helping founders build real-world solutions. Kigali is proving what an agile ecosystem looks like.
