  • Akamanzi on Global Innovation Index Advisory Board #rwanda #RwOT

    “In 2020, the Global Innovation Index (GII) welcomes two new members to its esteemed Advisory Board: Clare Akamanzi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Rwanda Development Board, and Heizo Takenaka, the Director of the Center for Global Innovation Studies in Toyo University and former Minister of Japan,” reads the statement.

    In 2011, an Advisory Board was established to provide advice on the research underlying the Global Innovation Index (GII), generate synergies at its stages of development, and assist with the dissemination of its messages and results.

    The Advisory Board is a select group of leading international practitioners with expertise in the realm of innovation. Its members are from diverse geographical and institutional backgrounds and participate in their personal capacity. In 2020, the GII Advisory Board is comprised of 17 members in total.

    Its members come from diverse geographical and institutional backgrounds and participate in their personal capacity.

    Among the high profile figures members of the GII are the Director General of UNESCO Audrey Azoulay, Houlin Zhao, ITO Secretary General and Fabiola Gianotti, Head of European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).

    The GII report is co-published by Cornell University, a US-based Ivy League research university, INSEAD, and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a specialized UN agency.

    The 2020 index is expected Wednesday, September 2, marking the 13th edition; it includes 131 economies, which represent 93.5 percent of the world’s population.

    This edition, with the theme “Who Will Finance Innovation?”, sheds light on the state of innovation financing by investigating the evolution of financing mechanisms for entrepreneurs and other innovators; it is expected to also point out the remaining challenges – including in the context of the economic slowdown induced by the Covid-19 crisis.

    RDB CEO, Clare Akamanzi, was named new advisory board members of the GII, alongside Heizo Takenaka former Minister of Japan.

  • Police arrest six in operations against illegal mineral trade #rwanda #RwOT

    One of the suspected illegal mineral dealers identified as Jean Damascene Tuyizere was arrested with 280 kilogrammes of Coltan.

    According to Chief Inspector of Police (CIP) Aloys Bugingo, the District Police Commander (DPC) for Kamonyi, Tuyizere was at the time smuggling the minerals to Kigali in a vehicle RAC 705I, which was also impounded.

    Apparently, Tuyizere, an employee of COMIKA mining company operating in Rukoma, used the company’s tags to tag his minerals, which he had acquired through other fraudulent means.

    “Tuyizere, who is an employee of COMIKA mining company, was operating other illegal side deals. This time, he had used COMIKA tags in an attempt to beat security and to smuggle the minerals from Kamonyi to Kigali.

    When we inquired with COMIKA management, we indeed found out that the minerals were not theirs and that Tuyizere had used their tags to conduct his illegal mineral businesses on the side,” CIP Bugingo said.

    Meanwhile, another suspected illegal mineral dealer called Gaspard Njenyeri, 54, was also caught with 2.5kgs of coltan. Four other suspects were at the time found mining in a coltan concession in Rukoma.

    “Understanding that there are increased illegal mining and related businesses in Kamonyi, especially in Rukoma, we have increased operations to prevent these unlawful activities and related fraud,” the DPC said.

    He warned residents against the unlawful mineral business and called for continued sharing of information on dealers, including groups that engage in mining and those who buy the minerals from them.

    Article 54 of the law on mining and quarry operations, states that; “any person, who undertakes mineral or quarry exploration, exploitation, processing or trading without a licence commits an offence.”

    Upon conviction, the offender is liable to imprisonment for a term of between two and six months and a fine of not less than Rwf1 million and not more than Rwf5 million or only one of these penalties.

    The court also orders confiscation of any seized minerals or quarry in storage, trading or processing without a licence.

  • Tour De France Stage 5 Kicks Off Noon From Gap to Privas 183km #rwanda #RwOT

    On Wednesday morning, riders will kick off at 12:20 (BST) pedalling from Gap for the next 183km until they cross a finish-line at Privas later in the evening. The weather is so far good and the mood is high with enthusiastic fans though terrified by Covid-19.

    This part of France is partly cloudy today with general temperature of 17 degrees centigrade. Sunrise was seen at 7:06AM and is scheduled to set at 8:16PM. The humidity is almost 64% and riders will have to endure against a wind speed of 14km/h from South East. Visibility is about 10Km and atmospheric pressure of 1016mb.

    In assessing this route, it is a gentle descent with only a couple of Category 4 climbs to break the rhythm of the sprinters.

    However, the last of those climbs is 15km out from the finish and possibly presents the opportunity for a swashbuckling late breakaway attack, but few riders would be able to repel the peloton that would come barrelling at them thereafter, so it’s a day to stick to the obvious sprint contenders.

    This part of France from Gap to Privas is renowned for the Mistral that blows north-to-south, and there’s a chance that things could be smashed asunder if it makes an appearance as the peloton turns west into the finish.
