In July of this year, ELP Alumnus Eliud Njogu and Co-Founder Julius Njuguna launched the Innovation Hub rollout in Kampala, aimed at university students under the Equity Leaders Program (ELP). This initiative, a collaboration between Equity Bank and E&M Technology, seeks to provide students with crucial technology and innovation skills. It aligns with the Bank’s Africa Recovery and Resilience Plan, emphasizing the importance of technological proficiency.

Fifty ELP Scholars are now preparing to join 400 peers in Nairobi, Kenya, for a six-month training program focused on technology and innovation. This training is designed to enhance their creative and critical thinking abilities, empowering them to drive positive change. Equity Group Holdings is committed to the Africa Recovery and Resilience Plan, which emphasizes the need for tech-savvy young minds to develop solutions for the banking sector’s challenges and contribute to Africa’s future.

The Innovation Hub reflects Equity Group’s commitment to nurturing innovation that generates new ideas, solutions, and technologies with broad impact. The 2030 Strategy Framework, which includes the Africa Recovery and Resilience Plan, focuses on technology and enabled ecosystems, with a goal of digitally connecting 100 million customers.

Nicole Mukyala, ELP scholar from Uganda.

Nicole Mukyala, an ELP scholar from Uganda, shared her experience with the recent Innovation Hub training. “The Innovation Hub has deepened my understanding of innovation and technology in Uganda. Our project, the Staff Circle Digital Loan Application, aims to simplify the loan application process, which is currently cumbersome due to extensive paperwork. Our solution will allow staff to apply for loans directly from their phones, making the process much more convenient.”

Mukyala also expressed her expectations for the program: “By the end of this program, I hope to become a certified developer. We have learned coding and program development, and I am excited to apply these skills to complete our application successfully.”

Josephat Enanya, ELP Alumnus from Kenya.

Josephat Enanya, an ELP alumnus from Kenya, described his transformative experience: “I transitioned from a business background to the tech industry through this program. Initially driven by curiosity and a desire to understand the tech world, I have evolved from a business management professional to a back-end software developer. The Innovation Hub has equipped me with the technical skills needed to tackle real-world problems, and our solutions are making a significant difference in addressing financial challenges in our community.”

Overall, the ELP Innovation Hub is playing a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of African tech leaders and innovators.
