Ninety-eight people joined Dev Junction to learn how to build and deploy AI agents. Joshua Omobola led the session, taking participants through the process live.
By the end, each participant had built a live AI agent and earned a certificate.
That result says more than the attendance number. People came to learn about a technology that is changing how work gets done, and they got the chance to actually build with it.
Across Q2, we saw that same shift from learning about something to getting closer to doing it for yourself.
When education data leads somewhere
In Kenya, the question was not whether education systems have data. It was whether that data is helping people make better decisions.
Our Viable session, The Architecture of Insight: Building Educational Systems that Utilize Data for Decision-Making, brought together EdTech founders, educators, and product designers to look at how data can become useful insight across Kenya’s education ecosystem.
The conversation moved from policy and institutional planning all the way to classroom practice.
It also raised a bigger issue: collecting more data will not automatically improve education. The people making decisions need to be able to interpret what is available and use it at the right time.
We developed the conversation further in a knowledge piece examining the opportunities and challenges of building education systems that use data effectively.

Getting a closer look at how the ecosystem works
Some learning happens by doing. Some happens by getting close enough to see how other people do the work.
That was part of what our hubs offered this quarter.
The Human Resources Student Society met with CcHUB’s People Team to explore People Management as a career, including the opportunities within the field and how early-career professionals can begin navigating it.
For 15 Innovation and Entrepreneurship Master’s students from James Hope University, the focus was entrepreneurship. Their visit took them through startup support systems, incubation processes, and founder journeys, giving them a practical view of what building a venture looks like beyond the classroom.
Representatives from the Aspire Alumni Community also visited to learn about innovation, startup development, and ecosystem building.
We welcomed international visitors too. Representatives from the Danish delegation spent time at CcHUB learning how technology and innovation are being applied across education, healthcare, and entrepreneurship.
The Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digitalization also visited alongside 30 delegates from Wharton’s Full-Time and Executive MBA programs, with conversations focused on Nigeria’s innovation ecosystem and the work happening across entrepreneurship, technology, and digital innovation.
The groups were different, and so were the reasons for visiting. What they had in common was the opportunity to get closer to the people and systems behind the ecosystem.
What comes next
Not everything we worked on in Q2 was meant to happen within the quarter.
In Namibia, the Ministry of Education, Innovation, Youth, Sports, Arts, and Culture came on board as the flagship institutional partner for the Namibia Creative Skills Exchange and Industry Development Programme.
The program, scheduled to launch in August, is being developed to strengthen Namibia’s creative economy through practical skills training, business support, and stronger connections within the industry.
In Nigeria, CcHUB and ALATPay by Wema Bank also began working together on a one-day flagship event for early-stage founders across three high-growth sectors.
The collaboration will give participating founders an opportunity to engage with ALATPay’s payment infrastructure, with CcHUB Nigeria and ALATPay working together to support the wider digital commerce ecosystem.
These are not Q2 results yet. They are part of what Q2 put in motion.
What the quarter showed us
There is an important difference between being around innovation and being able to participate in it.
This quarter, 98 people did not just attend a conversation about AI. They built AI agents.
Education stakeholders did not stop at talking about the amount of data available. They looked at what it would take to make that data useful for real decisions.
Students and emerging professionals got closer to careers, founders and startup systems they might otherwise only encounter from a distance.
And while those activities looked different, the direction was similar: giving more people practical ways to engage with the ideas, skills, people, and systems shaping Africa’s innovation ecosystem.
There is still a lot to build. Q2 gave more people a chance to start building.
