On October 2-4, 2024, Oracle Academy exhibited at Ghana Digital Innovation Week (GDIW) 2024. The conference was a resounding success, bringing together innovators, tech enthusiasts, and thought leaders from across Africa. Oracle Academy proudly participated, showing our commitment to driving digital transformation and empowering the next generation of innovators and leaders.
Oracle Academy helps to bridge the gap between education and industry by equipping young Africans with the digital skills necessary to thrive in today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world. At the GDIW 2024 exhibition, the focus was on highlighting key areas such as digital knowledge and skills education, innovation, and collaborations with like-minded organizations and NGOs.
Visitors to the Oracle Academy booth experienced hands-on demonstrations of the curriculum and other membership benefits including AI-driven applications, cloud computing solutions, Oracle APEX, and Oracle Netsuite. The demos allowed participants to explore the curriculum and teaching resources and how they can be applied in teaching and beyond.
As part of GDIW’s collaborative environment, Oracle Academy Program Manager, SSA, Bekere Amassoma, participated in a panel discussion on ‘Fostering Entrepreneurial Growth through Regional and Cross-Border Collaboration’ and the importance of preparing the youth for a tech-driven job market. These conversations were instrumental in highlighting the need for educational institutions, governments, and the private sector to work together in fostering innovation.
Ghana Digital Innovation Week 2024 was a reminder of Africa’s growing technological potential and the critical role digital skills play in shaping the future of work. As more African economies look to technology for growth, the demand for tech-savvy professionals is higher than ever before. By helping educators equip students with the right skills, Oracle Academy is helping to fill that gap and ensure that young Africans are not only consumers of technology but also creators and innovators.
As Oracle Academy continues to collaborate with organizations and governments across Africa, we look forward to continuing to foster innovation and support young entrepreneurs for digital transformation.
