Today, our Management Team concluded their construction site visits with a stop at Rwanda Coding Academy, where they assessed the progress of ongoing works and reaffirmed RTB’s commitment to creating modern learning environments that nurture Rwanda’s next generation of digital talent.
“One of the most important areas is intellectual property protection because creatives must be able to own and benefit from what they produce. When creators understand and protect ownership of their work, they are able to generate wealth, sustain themselves, and build opportunities for future generations.”

At the Forward Africa Leaders Symposium 2026, leaders from across the continent gathered to discuss the future of Africa’s digital transformation, with a strong focus on digital infrastructure, innovation, policy, and regional collaboration.
Speaking during the symposium, our CEO, @antale emphasized that Africa’s progress cannot be achieved in isolation. He highlighted the need for stronger cross-border collaboration, #digitaltrust, and #interoperable systems that enable seamless validation of transactions and integration across regional and international markets.
As Africa continues to build its digital economy, conversations around interoperability, trusted digital systems, and inclusive innovation remain critical to unlocking regional growth and accelerating continental integration.
Concluding the discussions, the Minister of Education, @JoNsengimana, reaffirmed that Dual TVET is becoming a preferred pathway for young people, as it equips them with real workplace experience and job-ready skills, helping to close the skills gap.
He underscored that education and skills development remain central to Rwanda’s long-term transformation, calling for stronger collaboration across government, the private sector, and development partners to scale up the impact of Dual TVET, build on the growing momentum of its recognition as a viable opportunity for youth, and ensure it becomes not just an option, but a clear pathway to employment and national development.
Today at Gacuriro TSS, we hosted Village Way, an Israeli delegation of high school teachers. They are in Rwanda as part of an academic exchange aimed at promoting collaboration and strengthening bilateral cooperation in education.
