We are thrilled to announce that our Smart Alert Team has safely arrived in Nairobi, Kenya, to compete in the prestigious Hult Prize Regional Competition. This event, taking place from June 7-8, 2024, marks a significant milestone for our university and underscores our commitment to fostering innovation and excellence.
The Hult Prize is an esteemed international contest that urges university students to devise innovative business solutions for pressing social challenges. Regent’s team is presenting a smart alert system that manages appliances via SMS messages and includes a smart fire detector.
To Andrews Owusu-Sekyere, Christabel Quarcoo, Aseda Kofi Ayeh-Bampoe, and Emmanuel Bonney, we are immensely proud of your hard work, dedication, and ingenuity.
