ChipMango: Building Nigeria’s Semiconductor Engineering Capabilities for the Global Tech Industry
Africa’s participation in the global technology industry should go beyond
using digital products and services.
African engineers also have an opportunity to contribute to the technologies themselves, including the semiconductors that power smartphones, computers, vehicles and artificial intelligence.
Nigerian semiconductor technology company ChipMango is working to develop this capability by connecting engineering education with practical chip-design and verification projects.
Through its investment in African venture capital funds, the European Investment Bank (EIB), under the Boost Africa
initiative, is helping strengthen the ecosystem that supports innovative businesses like ChipMango.
Boost Africa is a joint initiative of the EIB and African Development Bank, supported by the European Union.
