Samson Olatunde, the visionary behind Knowledge Digest Africa (KDA), underlining the pivotal role of technology in propelling African businesses forward. Recently honoured among the top 100 fastest-growing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the country for 2023, KDA stands as a comprehensive digital knowledge storage. In a post-award speech in Lagos, Olatunde emphasized the necessity for African business leaders to embrace technology for business expansion.
“This year, we introduced new features, but in 2024, we are diligently working to enhance our content even further. We’ve noticed shifts in our audience’s preferences, and in response to these evolving needs, we are committed to continually improving our website by offering more robust digital content tailored to cater to the interests of young individuals, career professionals, and entrepreneurs,” he explained.
The Knowledge Sharing and Development Africa (KDA) platform is at the forefront of fostering knowledge exchange and learning, serving as a hub for diverse communities to connect, educate, and empower one another. The primary focus is on exploring the latest technology trends and their implications for the future of work and businesses in Africa.
Olatunde’s vision is to establish Africa’s most extensive all-in-one digital knowledge repository, initiated by African entrepreneurs specifically for African enterprises. This initiative aims to curate easily understandable, timeless content for the next generation of business leaders, empowering them to create intergenerational wealth and maintain lasting relevance.
With 15 years of experience in the tech industry, Olatunde founded KDA to bridge the gap between digital information and businesses across Africa. The platform consistently delivers downloadable digital content, garnering over 1,000 daily views from its audience. The BusinessDay award is a testament to the positive impact and recognition of KDA’s value.
Olatunde, an alumnus of Pan Atlantic University in Lagos, holds certifications as a UK life coach, a management consultant in Canada, and a small business consultant in Texas, USA. Passionate about empowering young Africans, he hosts the ‘Digital CEO Tribe’ and organizes the Digital Wealth Creation Summit, exposing participants to avenues for digital wealth creation and future-of-work opportunities.
In a new venture, Olatunde has established the Samson Olatunde Foundation, aiming to become Africa’s premier solution-oriented NGO. The foundation is dedicated to catalyzing transformation across the continent through education and enterprise, leveraging the potential of ICT.
