“Innovate Africa” is a project with the objective to boost the Next Production Revolution (NPR) in Africa, while keeping a focus on the peculiar features of each country. The weak infrastructural tissue and the Climate Change threat pose a serious challenge for the future socio-economic development of the Continent, which needs to leverage on its
Nymphaea is a community-level product, designed to produce 300 l/d of clean water. Its objective is also to be easily introduced and adopted by the end users, the inhabitants of the villages. Creating a network of local entrepreneurs that sell the drinking water at a fair price in their communities, Nymphaea becomes a source of
The FBS-PV concept regards the inclusion of on-board additional sensors to improve the UAVs’ flight accuracy in trajectory during PV O&M procedures without the need of external compensation from human operators. Accuracy is guaranteed by the perfect overflight of the rows of photovoltaic panels thanks to the use of image vision-based controllers. Principal Academic Tutor
