Today, we celebrated more than achievement. We celebrated ambition, resilience, and the transformative power of opportunity.
Hosted at the Microsoft Africa Development Centre, the AI Champions Recognition Programme Awards brought together an inspiring community of learners, partners, and leaders committed to shaping Kenya’s digital future.
What makes this milestone especially remarkable is the journey behind it. Participants travelled from across the country, from Turkana to Wajir, Kwale and beyond, united by a shared desire to build the skills needed to thrive in an AI-driven world.
Through the partnership between ICT Authority, Microsoft Elevate, and Pathways Technologies, thousands of individuals have been equipped with practical AI knowledge and future-ready skills. Today, we had the privilege of recognizing the Top 10 AI Champions, whose dedication to learning, innovation, and responsible AI application set them apart.
The event was further enriched by insights from distinguished leaders and keynote speakers who reinforced the importance of investing in digital talent and building an ecosystem where innovation can flourish.
As Pathways Technologies, we are proud to serve as the lead training partner in a programme that continues to unlock potential, create opportunities, and empower the next generation of AI champions.
Today, we celebrated excellence. Tomorrow, these champions will help shape the future of work, innovation, and digital transformation across Kenya. ✨
