US-based Project Management Institute (PMI) is expected to showcase industry-leading certifications and offerings tailored for technology professionals, entrepreneurs, ecosystem builders, and innovators at the Tech Revolution Africa Conference 2025.
PMI’s participation at the event reflects its focus on connecting with a diverse audience critical to Africa’s technological growth.
While effective project management is critical to ensuring success as digital transformation reshapes industries across the continent, PMI’s certifications, like the Project Management Professional (PMP), are globally recognised as the gold standard for project leaders, equipping them with the tools and methodologies needed to drive innovation and deliver results.
The need for structured project execution, stakeholder management, and strategic planning is growing rapidly, especially as organisations navigate complex technological shifts, says managing director, Sub-Saharan Africa, PMI, George Asamani.
Stating that PMI helps address these challenges by fostering a workforce capable of managing projects in an agile, cost-effective, and scalable manner, he added that, digital transformation initiatives require a combination of strategic oversight and precise execution, making certified professionals uniquely equipped to lead in this space.
“Technological innovation is accelerating across Africa, creating both opportunities and challenges. At PMI, we are dedicated to empowering the tech ecosystem with the skills and certifications to manage this complexity, deliver successful projects, and shape a brighter future,” he said.
At the event, PMI will showcase its globally recognised certifications, such as the PMP, Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM), as well as its dynamic Membership benefits and PMI Infinity™ 2.0, an AI-powered project management coach designed to deepen expertise, master complex topics, and elevate execution to drive project success.
“Project professionals turn to PMI for cutting-edge resources and methodologies to drive transformation in their careers, organisations, and industries. Through our recent partnership with Scrum Alliance and Cognilytica’s acquisition we are expanding access to Agile resources while pioneering the integration of AI into project management. These advancements will empower professionals to lead confidently and navigate the complexities of AI-driven transformation on a global scale,” added Asamani.
While urging participants at the summit to visit PMI’s booth at the Tech Revolution Africa, holding in Victoria Island, Lagos, on January 31st and February 1st, 2025, the co-founder of Tech Revolution Africa, David Ogebe said: “This strategic partnership between PMI and Tech Revolution Africa further strengthens the vibrant tech ecosystem, expanding the frontiers for more project professionals amongst innovators and the brightest talents you can find in Africa.”
