Manufacturer of telemedicine terminals, medical cases, drones and tablets, Mountaga KEITA stated at SAS 2024: “ Africa is not a continent of problems. It is an extraordinary reservoir of initiatives, projects, creativity and innovation little known to the general public. Africans create, dare, invent, manufacture, produce, innovate, undertake in various fields and act for the common good. They bring effective solutions to social, economic, environmental, health, educational problems, etc. It is time to bring them to light, make them visible and share them with as many people as possible. This is what Africa Solutions Week (SAS) is all about. Hence my support for such an event, which honors those who make the Africa of today and tomorrow and promotes stories of resilience and stories of problem solving. ».
