Eastlands College of Technology is a project of the Strathmore Educational Trust – a public, non-profit foundation – in Nairobi, Kenya. The college targets the formal sector by creating lasting links with businesses through the introduction of a dual training system in ICT, electrical and electronic installation systems and industrial maintenance. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has now been signed with move technology GmbH from Chemnitz, Germany.
“We are delighted to have gained an experienced industrial partner in move technology, which has access to proprietary and European technology components that represent great added value for our projects,” says Austine Omeno, Principal of Eastlands College. “We have already been able to identify the first potential joint projects with which we would like to start a project-related collaboration. These address issues relating to the availability of green energy in particular,” adds Andrew Olea, Project Manager at Eastlands College.
Dr. Jörn Seebode, Managing Director of move technology: “As a project partner, Eastlands College fits perfectly into our East Africa strategy. We want to improve the situation on the ground with efficient energy solutions and drive forward our local business development. We can also imagine supporting the students’ education by closely involving them in our projects.”
The collaboration will focus in particular on the areas of green energy systems, independent power supplies, new mobility solutions and software development.
