We extend our sincere appreciation to our industry partners for believing in the potential of the soon to graduate @RwandaPolytec students and for presenting real-world challenges that inspired innovation, collaboration, and hands-on creativity during the RP Skills Challenge 2026 – #Hackathon. Here is a glimpse of the solutions developed by students in response to the industry needs across the different key research and innovation clusters: 💻Digital & Social Transformation Cluster * @airtelrw -Developed an Inventory Management System for End User Equipment * @delorenzoglobal – Designed a Smart City Virtual Laboratory for Training TVET institutions * @reg_rwanda– Built AI-powered Solutions to help Fight Vandalism in Power Infrastructure 🏭Transformative Manufacturing Cluster * @remco_rw – Developed a Multi-purpose Hydraulic Press for Manufacturing and Workshop Applications * @GAMICO_LTD – Designed a Tin Recovery System for Tailings and Slimes ☀️ Sustainable Energy Cluster * @AlwaysInyange – Developed a Solar Energy Plant Solution for Pumping and Lighting Beyond developing solutions, the #Hackathon challenged students to think critically, work collaboratively and apply their practical skills to real industry challenges and gain deeper exposure to workplace expectations. It also strengthened the connection between academic learning and industry.

Today, @ClaudetteIrere, Hon. Minister of State for Education, officiated the closing of the @RwandaPolytec Skills Challenge 2026 – #Hackathon, bringing to a close over two weeks of innovation, collaboration and industry-driven problem-solving. Speaking during the ceremony, Hon. Irere described the initiative as a clear reflection of Rwanda’s ambition to build a knowledge-based economy powered by skills, innovation, and stronger links between education and industry. “Today, @RwandaPolytec is demonstrating that #TVET is not merely producing graduates, but actively engineering solutions to operational challenges within industry,” she noted. She urged private sector partners to view students not simply as trainees, but as future technical architects capable of driving industrial growth, adding that their creativity, technical competence, and resilience are key to unlocking the potential of Rwanda’s industries. Hon. Irere also emphasized the importance of ensuring that the innovations developed through the Hackathon are scalable and ready for industrial adoption or incubation. Commending the students, she noted that their performance throughout the challenge demonstrated the professionalism, technical ability, and determination needed to help drive Rwanda’s transformation forward. She also expressed appreciation to the leadership of @RwandaPolytec, industry partners, mentors, and development partners whose collaboration made the initiative possible, calling for continued partnerships that transform academic excellence into national prosperity and industrial pride. The Hackathon brought together 48 graduating students who worked in 18 teams to address six real industry challenges provided by @AlwaysInyange, @airtelrw, @reg_rwanda, @delorenzoglobal, @GAMICO_LTD, and @remco_rw. The Hackathon concluded with the recognition of winning teams across the different clusters.

Impressed by the quality of presentation and prototype in this year's #RPSkillsChallenge. Solutions are rooted in industry needs and demands and it shows! Many thanks to @reg_rwanda @AlwaysInyange @remco_rw @delorenzoglobal @airtelrw & GAMICO for partnering with @RwandaPolytec

Minister Irere added that the hackathon demonstrates that Rwanda’s graduands are “not just job seekers, but solution providers already vetted by the private sector.” Winning teams from RP Tumba, Huye, Kigali, Karongi and Musanze colleges were each awarded Frw 1 million in recognition of their outstanding performance and innovative ideas.

Today, Minister of State for Education @ClaudetteIrere officiated the closing of the RP Skills Challenge Hackathon 2026, where 48 competitors from Rwanda Polytechnic campuses across the country showcased innovative solutions to real industry challenges in energy, manufacturing, mining and digital transformation. In her remarks, the Minister emphasized the importance of linking technical education with practical industry needs. “Our TVET system is not merely producing graduates; it is actively engineering solutions to the operational bottlenecks that hinder our national productivity,” she noted.

Great match between Visit Rwanda partner teams @Atleti and @Arsenal. Congratulations to Arsenal FC on the win and qualification for the UEFA Champions League Final. May the best #VisitRwanda partner team win!

Sports is Character and there is no failure in Sports! The Soul of the game does not live on scoreboard! The soul of the game is about playing with integrity, competing with honour and winning with grace or loosing with dignity by shaking the hand of the opponent who defeated you and look in their eyes and say well done knowing they pushed you to your limits and you did all that you could do. In the end it is You vs You aiming at being the better version that you were yesterday! That is the victory.
