The recent Africa Smart Cities Investment Summit (#ASCIS24) ignited a spark of innovation and collaboration, setting the stage for a smarter, more sustainable Africa.
Prof.Emmanuel Mutisya ,University Council Chairman at Kenya Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (Kenya-AIST) Joined #ASCIS2024 for a Panel Session moderated by Rafi Rich,Chief Urban Advisor at the Israel Innovation Institute where he explored practical strategies and innovative approaches to addressing climate change in Africa's rapidly urbanizing cities. With a focus on people-centered development, the discussions emphasized the implementation of environment-friendly policies that integrate renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable mobility, green building practices, and the protection of natural ecosystems.
SIMPLY: “From Promises to Impact: Addressing Climate Change with People-Centred Smart Cities.”
Key Takeaways By Prof. Emmanuel Mutisya on "The Role of Academia in Innovative Solutions for smart Cities":
- Academia's Role in Smart City Solutions: As highlighted by Prof. E.Mutisya, academia plays a pivotal role in training future leaders and developing innovative solutions for smart cities. By aligning with emerging global tech trends, we can create green, smart, and sustainable industries.
- The Importance of Stakeholder Engagement: Professor Mutisya emphasized the crucial role of stakeholder engagement and private sector compliance in driving sustainable smart city development.
-
Infrastructure as a Foundation: Professor E.Mutisya called for "A connected Konza", he rightly pointed out that 'Infrastructure is the Bedrock of any Smart' city and that integration with a Railway line and Electric buses, is a key step towards a dedicated mobility solution. .

A Word from the Hilarious Rafi Rich; "CEO & Chief Urban Disruptor"-SUITS; Smart Urban IT & Strategies (https://www.thesuits.net)
"This is such an event where a young entrepreneur can easily sit with a national Minister of ICT for a coffee chat, A CEO of an investment bank with a mayor for a difficult but open and necessary dialogue, where mayors (truly) congratulated each other on their successes and all diffused with a lot of humor. ASCIS shows that there was a lot of work but also a fascinating and clear path forward."
"African Smart City Investment Summit ASCIS, is not the Barcelona Smart City Expo. Its not a mass event where everyone in the field comes to drink beer and celebrate (and where everyone is happy and successful, like their typical Linkedin Facebook or Instagram page). The African Smart City Investment Summit is a relatively small gathering of representatives of countries, investors, organizations and entrepreneurs mainly from the continent, and is organized by Africans for themselves, with a target to engage in thought regarding the role of innovation, entrepreneurship and data in improving life governance and growth in the continent."
- "If you're not laughing, you're not learning."
- "The future of smart cities is not just about technology; it's about people. Let's build smart cities with heart."
Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to be part of Africa's tech revolution!
