PAIX Ghana Expanded Data Center Launch
We're thrilled to share some insights into the incredible success of our recent work with PAIX/Africa50 on the PAIX Ghana Expanded Data Center Launch.
Our team expertly designed and executed a tailored PR strategy that ensured top-tier media coverage, including TV appearances and a front-page feature in one of Ghana's leading dailies. With a renowned TV host, George Kwaning, as the MC, we secured impactful on-ground interviews and engaged key stakeholders.

Nutrition: Africa's Unique Challenge in Sports
According to the latest available data provided by the UN, Africa currently has a population of 1,4 billion. By 2050, that population will reach 2,5 billion. By 2100, Africa will be home to 40% of all humanity. At this stage, 2100, Africa will also be home to 50% of the youth of the world.
It has immense potential, we all agree on this. With that being said, we cannot ignore the fact that Africa has particularly unique challenges as a continent.
One of the valuable points in this regard raised by our Chairman and Founder, Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard, at the recent EurAfrican Forum 2024 by Portuguese Diaspora Council, was that of nutrition. How can we expect our athletes to perform when they don't even have enough to eat each day?
