About

Hi! I am Sylvestre Olanlo.I am a Togolese Social & Tech entrepreneur and civil research engineer.

My background

Passionate about science and technology and after a training in engineering, I carry the vision of sharing this passion with the young people of his generation to enable them to become the next innovators of Africa by solving the problems of their community.

This vision led me to co-found the pan-African organization of young people TIDD (Technologies and innovations for sustainable development) which brings together more than a hundred young leaders in Togo, France and Canada and who work on linking technologies & innovations and SDGs.

As a STEAM evangelist and with my organization, I have worked to demystify science and technology with more than 500 young people and children while bringing together several actors who share the same vision.

I also carry out research on the themes of sustainable cities in Africa, particularly in the field of promoting local materials and smart cities. And I plan to work very soon on a 3D printer for building😎 that uses local materials and meets construction needs in Africa… One of the reasons for my presence at the Fab Academy to improve my skills in digital fabrication.
