🥇 1st Place at the Algeria 2.0 Hackathon – Cyberparc of Sidi Abdellah A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to participate in one of the best hackathons I’ve ever attended. The experience was exceptional from start to finish — excellent organization, a motivating atmosphere, and an incredibly supportive jury who shared valuable advice and meaningful insights. Alongside a motivated, committed, and highly competitive team, we worked on the Agritech theme and developed FarmWise, a platform designed to help new farmers choose and plant crops by leveraging the routines and best practices of experienced farmers. Proud of this achievement and grateful for such an enriching experience 🌱

2025 is now on its sunset; I reflect: The Startup Genome Global Startup Ecosystem Report (GSER) 2024/2025 ranks Nairobi as the 2nd best overall and No. 1 best in Sub-Saharan African ecosystem in Fintech, Ecommerce and AgriTech—core digital/ICT services. The Africa Big Deal Startup Funding Reports (2024 data, published in 2025)— Kenyan startups raised $638 million in 2024 (29% of Africa's total), making Kenya #1 in Africa for startup funding for the second year running—. The pendulum ⚖️ Recently, I had the pleasure to represent Government and my PS in a public policy forum that featured a rich panel of tax and policy experts drawn from KRA(KENYA REVENUE AUTHORITY), Ministry of Investments,Trade and Industry, MoICT and top tax legal firm ALN Kenya | Anjarwalla & Khanna. The session, moderated by Mr. Sandeep Main of KPMG took stock of the impact the Significant Economic Presence (SEP) Tax, introduced through the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, has had on Kenya's ICT ecosystem. Essentially this legislation and the ensuing statutory instrument intend to achieve three things: 1. Level the playing field for both homegrown digital market players and non-resident digital companies with significant economic influence in Kenya. This secures more backs, fairly so, to carry along the sector growth burden. 2. From an investment standpoint, the legislation provides a revenue base for public infrastructure capital that will attract private capital to enable Kenya achieve her digital footprint priority— case in point: the National Fibre Optic Backbone Infrastructure (NOFBI), 300+ digital hubs and digitising/digitalising Kenya's trade, security, food and healthcare systems. 3. Offer Public Sector capacity to lay legal groundwork for emerging technologies (5G+, AI, Blockchain etc.) This then provides us with there opportunities and work really, is cut out for us: 1. We need to collaborate in profiling, attracting and securing in-country residency for these enterprises that have subtabtantial business activity in the ICT sector in Kenya but bear no permanent establishment in Kenya and in Africa generally. Kenya is Africa's Silicone Savanna! 2. Holistically and deeply review any adverse effects SEPT may potentially have on domestic intermediary operations and apply stakeholder led, thoughtful remedies there in— Either through Tax Laws Amendment Bill 2026 or the 26/27 Finance Bill. 3. Lastly, as Public Sector, we must make it a priority to communicate effectively and engage stakeholders widely on the good intentions and progress being made—Especially in legislative agendas that affect key priority sectors— RIA/Ss are important and mandatory. They best highlight detailed cost benefit analysis (CBAs) and regulatory ramifications (prose) prior to public utilisilation. End of reflection. Happy holidays 🏖!

Se il film per serre ti dura solo una stagione… non è un problema di polimero. È un problema di additivo. Nel settore agricolo la plastica non è “solo plastica”: lavora sotto sole, venti, fertilizzanti, escursioni termiche, condensa, funghi e CO₂. EN If your greenhouse film only lasts one season… it’s not a polymer problem. It’s an additive problem. In agriculture, plastic is not “just plastic”: it works under sun, wind, fertilizers, temperature swings, condensation, fungi and CO₂.

What if farmers could see how fertilizers and biostimulants work — down to the cellular level? ICL’s Ferti-Tour is doing exactly that across Europe. After launching in France, the tour expanded to Spain, Italy, and Portugal, using interactive tools like virtual reality and on-farm agronomy support to help growers rethink fertilizer efficiency, sustainability, and ROI. 👉 More: https://ow.ly/tRAb50XKBML From vineyards in Italy to maize fields in France, the message was clear: blanket fertilizer applications are a thing of the past. Precision nutrition, biostimulants, and controlled-release technologies are shaping the future of plant health and productivity. How do you see digital tools and visualization changing the way farmers evaluate inputs?

🤖🌱 Vision-Guided Robotics Just Took a Big Step Forward Over the last year, vision-guided pick-and-place robots have advanced rapidly, making 6-axis robots combined with 3D vision/LiDAR capable of handling complex, delicate tasks like plant harvesting. What changed? • 3D vision & LiDAR now give robots true depth perception • AI & deep learning handle natural variability in plants • Edge computing enables real-time decision making • Standardized platforms reduce integration effort These technologies originated in advanced manufacturing, robotics labs, and autonomous vehicles. As hardware costs dropped and AI tools matured, they became far more affordable and accessible. For agriculture and controlled-environment greenhouses, this is a turning point: • Gentle, precise robotic harvesting • Reduced labor dependency • Consistent quality and repeatability • Vision data feeding AI & MES systems At Charis Farm Innovations, we’re leveraging this convergence of robotics and AI to make autonomous greenhouses practical — not experimental. The tools are ready. The use cases are real. And the cost barrier is finally coming down. #Agritech #Robotics #AIVision #Automation #SmartFarming #CEA #CharisFarmInnovations #Deeplearning

Industry 4.0 Fails If It Assumes Everyone Is Digitally Ready While studying Industry 4.0 for Resilient Operations (I4RO) project at IIM Visakhapatnam, one realization stayed with me: technology doesn’t create impact unless people can actually use it. Our project, Digital Mandi 4.0, aimed to modernize agricultural market operations for small and marginal farmers in Odisha. On paper, the government in India has digital intervention such as e-NAM and PPAS. However, in practical situations, farmers are yet to benefit—not due to the unavailability of technologies but due to the fact that the technologies are not suitable. The idea that stood out most to me was the assisted-digital model, and here’s why it matters: Digital inclusion is not the same as digital access Digital inclusion is not the equivalent of digital access. Smallest farmers neither possess smartphones nor feel comfortable accessing applications, nor do they have internet connectivity. Relying on these farmers to adopt new digital platforms efficiently seems to be an exclusion strategy rather than optimization. Digital Mandi 4.0 turns this around with IVRS calls, SMS notifications, and voice-based processes in local languages to include all and exclude none. Human support is a core part of Industry 4.0—not a weakness In our model, PACS, FPOs, and SHGs work as “Digital Mitras” to “declare surpluses, tag bags, and understand prices.” Through this model, I learned that Industry 4.0 doesn't have anything to do with eliminating human intervention in the system; instead, human intervention needs to be enabled through improved assistance. Trust is the real infrastructure The farmer may be more willing to rely on familiar institutions than unknown digital platforms. When farmers use assisted digital technology, they undergo a learning process in which fear of technology is diminished by the development of trusts. Ultimately, these trusts will lead to better pricing as well as increased market integration. This experience taught me how I think about the topic of digital transformation. Industry 4.0 is not a matter of high-tech implementation; it’s a matter of context-aware design. If the design follows the user rather than the other way around, resiliency can be achieved. I’m grateful to Prof. Akshay G Khanzode, Ph.D. for encouraging us to think beyond automation and focus on human-centered system design.

Notre expérience fait parler d’elle dans la forêt. 🐻🌲 Des scientifiques du Centre de foresterie de l’Atlantique utilisent de petites serres ouvertes pour étudier les effets de la hausse des températures et de la fréquence des feux de forêt sur la croissance et la survie des jeunes arbres dans le centre de Terre-Neuve. Les résultats peuvent servir à s’assurer que les forêts qui repoussent après les incendies restent en bonne santé — et les humains ne sont pas les seuls à suivre cette expérience de près!
