The Green Tech Solutions Team from the KNUST-College of Engineering Innovation Centre has embarked on an inspiring journey, marking a major milestone in their quest for sustainable innovation. Their journey, which culminates in Denmark, began with a blend of hard work, dedication, and the vision to tackle pressing challenges in Ghana’s agricultural sector through the power of technology.
The Smart IoT Irrigation System is an agri-tech solution developed under the Green Tech Solutions initiative. This cutting-edge system leverages IoT technologies to empower farmers with data-driven insights, revolutionising traditional farming methods while ensuring sustainability and efficiency. With its potential to address soil degradation, reduce resource wastage, and boost agricultural productivity, the project is a testament to the team’s vision for a future where digital innovation drives sustainable growth in agriculture.
Upon their arrival in Denmark, the Green Tech Solutions team made up of Christopher Naya and Nana Akua Konadu Agyeman-Gyebi, joined over 130 young innovators, academics, and startups from around the world at the Generation Digital Action Program hosted by DTU Skylab in collaboration with the Digital Tech Summit 2024.
Christopher Naya and Nana Akua Konadu Agyeman-Gyebi expressed their excitement about participating in this global event. Christopher highlighted his eagerness to connect with peers and explore how emerging digital technologies can shape a sustainable future. He remarked, “Representing Green Tech Solutions under SmartGreen, I’m here to connect with other pioneers and explore ways to create a more sustainable future through digital innovation.”
Similarly, Nana Akua reflected on the importance of this moment, stating, “It’s an honour to join innovators from across the globe, including countries like Ghana, Kenya, India, and South Africa, to showcase solutions that leverage digital technologies for sustainable impact. Representing Green Tech Solutions, we’re here to share and learn from the brightest minds in sustainability.
