Who are they, and what is the reason for their visit to France? Meet Team Niger.
You’re probably wondering what our friends from the African continent are doing in our offices. You’ll find out very soon! Let’s take a look at their arrival.
Our three new friends, Yaye Ousmane Soumaila, Hassia Aboubacar, and Mahamadou Tchiffa, came straight from the Niger region and demonstrated their strong interest in the DataCup project during a training session conducted by Mind & Go at the ANSI*headquarters. After several discussions, they were selected to participate in a 70-day training program within our company to become ambassadors of the DataCup project in Niger.
Our approach? To contribute to knowledge transfer by training them in the manufacturing, commercialization, and maintenance processes of the DataCup, thereby supporting the local economic development of businesses.
