KijaniSpace

🌍 What if you could use satellite data, sensors and AI to help solve real challenges in farming and aquaculture?

That is what the KijaniSpace Space-IoT Talent Training Programme in Mwanza is about.

Participants will gain practical digital skills and explore how technologies such as Copernicus Earth Observation, IoT and the Space-IoT Box can support new solutions for the Lake Victoria Basin.

💡 Learn. Experiment. Build. Connect.

🚀 Every innovation journey starts with the right foundation.

The KijaniSpace Space-IoT Talent Training Programme is more than a training course. It is an opportunity to build practical skills that connect Copernicus Earth Observation, IoT, and digital innovation for climate-smart agriculture.

Participants will explore how satellite data and sensor technologies can be transformed into real solutions for crop farming, aquaculture, and environmental monitoring.

Throughout the programme, they will gain hands-on experience, collaborate with experts, and develop ideas that address real challenges faced by communities in the Lake Victoria Basin.

By investing in people and digital skills today, we are helping create tomorrow's innovators, entrepreneurs, and technology leaders who can turn data into meaningful impact.

🌍 Together, we're building a stronger Africa–EU innovation ecosystem—one capable of making Earth Observation technologies more accessible, practical, and valuable for climate-smart agriculture.

Join us in shaping the future of climate-smart agriculture through space technologies.

🌱 A new milestone for KijaniSpace in Uganda!

Our team has successfully installed a smart field monitoring station in Mayuge District, near the shores of Lake Victoria.

The farm grows maize, bananas, tomatoes, and green peppers and already uses a solar-powered irrigation system supplied by lake water. By adding IoT monitoring, the farm will help demonstrate how local field measurements can be combined with satellite data through the Space-IoT Box to support smarter farming decisions.

This pilot is helping build practical climate-smart agriculture solutions that can benefit farmers across the Lake Victoria Basin.

The countdown is on! 🚀

On 24–25 July 2026, participants in the KijaniSpace Kisumu Talent Training Programme will gather at LakeHub, Kisumu for two days of teamwork, prototyping, mentoring and innovation.

Using Copernicus Earth Observation data, IoT and the Space-IoT Box, the teams will develop practical solutions for climate-smart agriculture and aquaculture.

Thank you to Margaret Sandra, LakeHub, our partners, mentors, judges and participants for making this possible.

We look forward to seeing the ideas come to life!
