Technological growth: PMI to drive digital transformation at Tech Revolution Africa 2025

The US-based Project Management Institute (PMI), the foremost player in project management, will showcase industry-leading certifications and offerings tailored for technology professionals, entrepreneurs, ecosystem builders, and innovators at the Tech Revolution Africa Conference 2025 this week. PMI’s participation at the event reflects its focus on connecting with a diverse audience critical to Africa’s technological growth.

Effective project management is critical to ensuring success as digital transformation reshapes industries across the continent. “PMI’s certifications, like the Project Management Professional (PMP), are globally recognised as the gold standard for project leaders, equipping them with the tools and methodologies needed to drive innovation and deliver results. The need for structured project execution, stakeholder management, and strategic planning is growing rapidly, especially as organisations navigate complex technological shifts”, a statement said.

The statement said PMI helps address these challenges by fostering a workforce capable of managing projects in an agile, cost-effective, and scalable manner. Digital transformation initiatives require a combination of strategic oversight and precise execution, making certified professionals uniquely equipped to lead in this space.
