AFMIP is a year-round continental innovation platform connecting schools, TVET colleges, universities, research institutions, industry, entrepreneurs and government to develop Africa’s next generation of engineers, innovators and future mobility leaders.
Build a pipeline of highly skilled engineers, innovators and future mobility professionals equipped with practical, industry-relevant capabilities.
Strengthen collaboration between schools, TVET colleges, universities, research institutions, government and industry.
Transform research and engineering ideas into technologies, products, enterprises and commercially viable solutions.
Strengthen Africa's role in future mobility value chains while positioning South Africa as a continental innovation headquarters.
AFMIP is built around eight interconnected strategic pillars combining skills development, research, entrepreneurship, sustainability, industrial collaboration and African leadership.
AFMIP extends beyond an annual competition. Its programme architecture provides continuous pathways for skills development, research, industry participation, entrepreneurship, knowledge exchange and community outreach.
Multidisciplinary teams of learners, TVET students, university students and young professionals design, build and test mobility solutions addressing real-world African challenges.
The permanent headquarters of AFMIP and a continental centre for engineering education, future mobility research, advanced manufacturing, technology testing and innovation commercialisation.
The project is designed as an economic platform supporting employment, local manufacturing, SMMEs, research commercialisation, STEM participation and long-term industrial capability.
Development begins with an innovation racing programme and partnership ecosystem before progressing into permanent infrastructure and, ultimately, a continental mobility platform.
