Three years ago, IMHO was founded with a mission to bridge the gap between vision and reality for innovators, entrepreneurs, and problem solvers by providing robust product and process design solutions. The company was driven by critical questions about Africa’s reliance on imported technologies and the need for local manufacturing capabilities. Despite a clear vision, the journey has been challenging. IMHO faced industry skepticism, a lack of funding, and the difficulty of pioneering an R&D-focused business. However, through perseverance, learning, and leveraging available resources, the company has built strong engineering, administrative, and management systems. IMHO has identified a pressing need for locally designed and manufactured machinery, prompting the development of an innovative engineering design system. The company’s next phase focuses on optimizing core competencies, generating revenue, and strengthening Africa’s industrial value chain. The article concludes with a call to action, inviting stakeholders, partners, and investors to join IMHO in shaping Africa’s engineering future, proving that innovation and industrialization can thrive on the continent.
On the 11th of March, 1964, Kwame Nkrumah submitted “BLUEPRINT OF OUR GOAL. LAUNCHING THE SEVEN-YEAR DEVELOPMENT PLAN” to the parliament of Ghana.
Industrialization is key to national development, a country’s ability to solve its problems, convert natural resources into useful products, and generate income from international trade is dependent on this. The industry is not a standalone sector it is a segment of a complete process that ensures that problems are solved and made available to consumers. The Product process shows strong industries cannot be
Systems thinking is a holistic and interdisciplinary approach that offers a comprehensive understanding of complex problems. It considers a system as an interconnected and interdependent set of elements
The global movement towards sustainable development has highlighted the critical role of engineering design in creating sustainable solutions. However, the current frameworks and processes of engineering design such as life cycle assessment, design for the environment, circular economic designs, etc. have contributed to some setbacks to implementing
From the point of view of modern science, design is nothing, but from the point of view of engineering, design is everything. It represents the purposeful adaptation of means to reach a preconceived end
Over the past couple of months, AI has continued its rapid expansion across various industries.
