“I quickly realised that technology could solve real-world problems... At university, I learned about machine learning. It wasn’t in the context of agriculture, but I saw how it could translate into practical solutions for farmers.” For Black History Month, we wanted to highlight Esther Kimani, the 2024 winner of the #AfricaPrize for Engineering Innovation in its 10th anniversary year. She spoke to us about how she turned her bold idea into a transformative business. Read her story: africaprize.raeng.org.uk/new… #BHM2024 #EngDiversity
