MIBT and DMISEU Reaffirm Commitment to Technological Development in Zambia

The Motley Institute of Business & Technology (MIBT) and DMI St. Eugene University (DMISEU) have reaffirmed their commitment to a robust partnership aimed at developing emerging technologies and expanding the tech space across Zambia. This collaboration signifies a significant step forward in leveraging technological advancements for the nation's growth and development. Together with other collaborating partners, these institutions have been spearheading the absorption and advancement of Web 3 technologies in Zambia since 2023.


The reaffirmation meeting, held on July 17, 2024, at DMI St. Eugene University Main Campus, was graced by prominent figures from both institutions, including Dr. Godfrey Mwewa, MIBT Advisory Board Chairman; Mr. Fredrick Nonde Jr., MIBT Executive Board Chairman & CEO; Dr. T X Ananth, DMI University Council President; Dr. Anthony Venish, DMI Director for Institute of Virtual Learning; and Mr. Johnson Kumwenda, MIBT Director for Startups and Entrepreneurship Development.


A key focus of this partnership will be the promotion of education in cutting-edge fields such as Coding, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics, and Blockchain Technology, starting from a young age. Both institutions recognize the importance of equipping the next generation with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in an increasingly digital world. To support this, there will also be a strong emphasis on building capacity for the teaching staff, ensuring they are well-equipped to deliver high-quality education in these advanced fields.

As part of this initiative, MIBT and DMI St. Eugene University will be setting up STEM labs and Innovation Hubs across the country. These facilities will serve as incubators for learner and tech startup support, providing resources, mentorship, and collaborative spaces for budding entrepreneurs and students. The STEM labs will be equipped with the latest technology to foster hands-on learning and experimentation, while the Innovation Hubs will offer a platform for networking, idea-sharing, and project development.


In addition to these educational advancements, the partnership has also considered arrangements for the upcoming Africa FutureTech Summit 2024. This international conference, scheduled for August 12 to 16, 2024, will bring together tech enthusiasts, industry leaders, and innovators from across the globe to discuss the latest trends and developments in technology.


Moreover, the launch of the Indo Zambia Blockchain Alliance (IZBA) will also take place, marking another significant milestone in the region's technological journey. IZBA aims to foster collaboration between India and Zambia in the blockchain space, promoting innovation, research, and application of blockchain technologies.


The ultimate aim is to collaborate with the government through the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Technology and Science, as well as other institutions of higher learning and collaborating partners. In turn, this partnership aims to develop Zambia into a hub of emerging and cutting-edge technologies, leveraging its strategic geographic location in the heart of the Southern African region. The timing is ideal considering the pronouncement of the digital revolution by the Zambian government, and the introduction of advanced technologies such as Starlink and Google Cloud to the region.


Together, MIBT and DMI St. Eugene University aim to foster innovation, support startups, and provide state-of-the-art educational opportunities to enhance the tech landscape in Zambia. This partnership will concentrate on creating and implementing emergency technologies that address urgent needs and improve the overall technological infrastructure of the nation.
