We are excited to announce the launch of our new talk show series, Open Chats by The Open Institute! 

This new show brings together leaders and experts in development and governance to discuss the future of Africa and the megatrends that are shaping the world today. Our mission is to provide a platform for insightful conversations and exchanging ideas that will lead to innovative solutions and a better future for Africa.

At Open Chats by The Open Institute, we will bring together leaders and experts to discuss these megatrends and their impact on Africa. We aim to provide a platform for insightful conversations and exchanging ideas that will lead to innovative solutions and a better future for Africa. We invite you to join us on this journey as we explore the future of Africa and the world.

In our Season Zero, we start off with our new board members - including Nivi Sharma, who has dedicated her life to providing access to children, women and rural populations, first using the internet and now by building literal bridges! We shall feature computer scientist per excellence, Dr Shikoh Gitau, who has worked hard to change how major decisions are made using hardcore data science and Brian Longwe, who has built internet networks in multiple African countries for the past 30 years. 

New OpenChats episodes are released weekly.
