Camu participated in the THE Africa Universities Summit 2026, held on 30-31 March 2026 in Nairobi, Kenya. Representing Camu at the summit was Aman Dhingra, VP Sales, who engaged with higher education leaders, academic decision-makers, and global education stakeholders on the future of African higher education.
The summit brought together university leaders, policymakers, innovators, business representatives, and higher education experts to explore how African institutions are building future-ready education systems through talent development, innovation, inclusion, and skills readiness.
For Camu, the summit offered a valuable opportunity to understand the scale, ambition, and direction of higher education transformation across Africa.
THE Africa Universities Summit 2026 was organised by Times Higher Education under the theme “Powering Africa’s future through talent development, innovation and inclusion.”
The summit focused on how higher education can support Africa’s long-term growth by expanding human capital, strengthening innovation ecosystems, improving graduate readiness, and building inclusive learning environments.
Strategic platform where higher education leaders explored:
The summit highlighted the role of universities in preparing students for a changing workforce. Discussions focused on employability, skills development, employer partnerships, and future-ready learning models.
Leaders explored how universities can support entrepreneurship, digital skills, start-up ecosystems, and innovation-led economic growth across the continent.
The summit placed strong focus on equity, diversity, inclusion, and gender equality. For institutions, this reinforces the need for systems that support visibility, access, student progression, and academic support.
Camu participated in the summit to engage with institutions that are reimagining higher education at scale.
The conversations reflected a clear shift. Institutions are moving beyond standalone digital tools and focusing on connected systems that support scale, academic quality, student success, and long-term growth.
Aman’s interactions with academic leaders across the region highlighted strong momentum around real-world skills, inclusive access, academic visibility, and outcome-driven education.
These priorities align closely with Camu’s mission to help institutions build connected, student-centric, and outcome-driven digital campuses.
At the summit, Camu engaged with institutional leaders to understand how universities across Africa are preparing for scale, access, and student success.
Digital transformation today is not about digitisation alone. It is about building connected academic ecosystems that help institutions manage students, learning, assessments, finance, communication, reporting, and analytics in one reliable environment.
Camu supports institutions through:
“Africa is not catching up. Africa is redefining the race.”

Reflecting on the summit, Aman shared that the two days in Nairobi created a complete shift in perspective. The conversations he witnessed reflected discipline, clarity of vision, and strong conviction among African higher education leaders.
The summit reinforced a powerful message: African universities are not only responding to change. They are actively shaping the future of education for one of the world’s youngest and fastest-growing populations.
Camu extends its appreciation to Times Higher Education for bringing together an inspiring community of academic leaders, policymakers, innovators, and higher education stakeholders.
As Africa’s higher education story continues to evolve, Camu remains committed to supporting institutions with connected, outcome-driven, and student-centric digital campus solutions.
