Run by Westerwelle Foundation in partnership with Evonik Foundation, it also includes a makerspace providing machines such as 3D printers and a laser cutter among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hub has a capacity to serve 200 people, who will be able to enjoy access to Microsoft Azure developer tools provided by Liquid Intelligent Technologies via its leading-edge fibre network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liquid Intelligent Technologies will support Westerwelle Startup Haus through the provision of high-speed internet, helping it to become a major driver of innovation and further positioning Kigali as a tech hub in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through its Innovation Partnership initiative, Liquid Intelligent Technologies is taking a leadership position in driving tech-based innovation in Rwanda, and earlier this year also entered into a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/liquid.tech\/about-us\/news\/liquid_intelligent_technologies_rwanda_partners_with_impact_hub_kigali_to_nurture_digital_innovation_in_rwanda\/\">partnership with Impact Hub Kigali<\/a>. Liquid Intelligent Technologies\u2019s range of digital skills development programmes, which focus on areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, data science and game development, will help Rwanda prepare for the arrival of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to be supporting the Westerwelle Foundation with its new venture in Rwanda. The opening of the Westerwelle Startup Haus Kigali will help nurture more young entrepreneurs that are laying the foundations for the country\u2019s digital future,\u201d said Oswald Jumira, Head of Innovation Partnerships at Liquid Intelligent Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liquid Intelligent Technologies and the Westerwelle Startup Haus Kigali will also explore ways to attract more leading events and startup competitions to the Rwandan capital. In July, the Westerwelle Startup Haus hosted Seedstars Kigali, part of a major startup competition held in over 20 different African countries. Entries included an artificial intelligence (AI) enabled device that helps the blind see and a talent match-making platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hub is run by the Westerwelle Foundation, a German non-profit organisation which aims to promote entrepreneurship and collaboration among innovators in emerging markets, in partnership with Evonik Foundation. Run by Evonik Industries, one of the world\u2019s leading specialty chemicals companies, Evonik Foundation promotes education and science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKigali is rapidly establishing a bright and innovative start-up sector. With Liquid Intelligent Technologies\u2019s support, we will be able to foster the entrepreneurial spirit of Rwanda\u2019s youth and make a meaningful contribution to the country\u2019s digital economy, overall economic growth and job creation,\u201d said Michael Mronz, Chairman of the Board at Westerwelle Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latest agreement demonstrates company\u2019s continued commitment to Kigali\u2019s thriving start-up ecosystem.
