Africa is not waiting for the future—it’s building it. In this inspiring conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with Kwame Numapau, Ghana’s Director of Technology & Innovation, to explore how a continent rich in creativity and resilience is shaping its own digital destiny.

Kwame shares how AI, cybersecurity, drones, and robotics are transforming daily life across Africa, from crowd safety to agriculture. He discusses why mindset, not money, is Africa’s biggest challenge—and how empowering youth to “fix before they call” could spark the next global wave of innovation.

From government policy gaps to Starlink-powered connectivity, from curbing corruption to mentoring a new generation of builders, Kwame paints a vivid picture of a region on the rise. His optimism is contagious: within five years, he predicts, the world will turn to Africa for both tech support and inspiration.
