AIPI

For Companies

AIPI supports business growth through various activities by organizing match making, study tours and several other activities where businesses get opportunities to conduct B2B meetings. The Rwandan ecosystem offers an entry point for German companies who want to explore new market opportunities in Rwanda and in the continent as a whole. This applies to Rwandan companies who want to export their solution on the European market, using Germany as an entry point. In addition, we facilitate German and Rwandan companies who want to create long-lasting partnerships and exchange knowledge with the goal of generating potential business opportunities that benefit both Rwandan and German ICT ecosystems. Despite this we offer several trainings and certification opportunities for Rwandan companies.

For Vulnerable

AIPI offers a dynamic platform for vulnerable individuals to flourish, providing various opportunities such as job opportunities and specialized training. Vulnerable groups, disadvantaged individuals, including women, refugees, and those who often face significant challenges in accessing the job market, can benefit from growth support and training to bring their innovative ideas to life through the “Tech Upskill” program. Additionally, through those opportunities, participants gain valuable practical experience from the training that supports them getting jobs. This project aims to empower them by offering the skills and support needed to create a more inclusive, skilled workforce by equipping them with relevant ICT skills, the program helps build a foundation for sustainable careers within the sector.

B2B

Outsourcing Germany is known to have a glaring shortage of skilled workers in the ICT sector. In Rwanda, on the other hand, there are many very qualified specialists who can compensate for this shortage. That's why we help German and Rwandan companies with matchmaking and arrange outsourcing projects.

Market Entry & Proof of Concept The Rwandan economy is booming. Africa is not the poor continent it is often mistakenly thought to be. It is an attractive market for investors. Rwanda, in particular, stands out here with steady economic growth, low-bureaucracy administration, agility, security and much more. However, due to the excessive supply of IT services in the national market, it is challenging for local IT companies in Rwanda to stay busy, hence cooperation with German IT companies would be an opportunity for Rwandan IT companies to penetrate the European market, using Germany as an entry point. We support you to successfully place your product/services on the Rwandan & Germany market.
