Melvyn Lubega

What does it take to turn potential into opportunity — and ensure more people can benefit from a rapidly changing world?

In the latest episode of Voices of Sustainability, host Anita Erskine sits down with entrepreneur and investor Melvyn Lubega, Founder & Chairperson of Baobab Group, to explore education, entrepreneurship, technology and access.

Drawing on his journey building one of Africa’s most successful technology companies, Melvyn discusses how education can unlock opportunity, why AI is changing what and how we need to learn, and why access involves far more than simply providing connectivity or a device.

The conversation also explores what Melvyn looks for in founders, how organisations can think differently about scaling impact, and the potential for digital public infrastructure and AI to help African economies leapfrog.

Watch the full episode for a conversation on building opportunity, lowering barriers and ensuring technology delivers meaningful impact.
