US-based Project Management Institute (PMI), the leading authority in project management, will showcase industry-leading certifications and offerings tailored for technology professionals, entrepreneurs, ecosystem builders, and innovators at the Tech Revolution Africa Conference 2025. PMI’s participation at the event reflects its focus on connecting with a diverse audience critical to Africa’s technological growth.
Effective project management is critical to ensuring success as digital transformation reshapes industries across the continent. PMI’s certifications, like the Project Management Professional (PMP), are globally recognised as the gold standard for project leaders, equipping them with the tools and methodologies needed to drive innovation and deliver results. The need for structured project execution, stakeholder management, and strategic planning is growing rapidly, especially as organisations navigate complex technological shifts.
PMI helps address these challenges by fostering a workforce capable of managing projects in an agile, cost-effective, and scalable manner. Digital transformation initiatives require a combination of strategic oversight and precise execution, making certified professionals uniquely equipped to lead in this space.
“Technological innovation is accelerating across Africa, creating both opportunities and challenges. At PMI, we are dedicated to empowering the tech ecosystem with the skills and certifications to manage this complexity, deliver successful projects, and shape a brighter future,” said George Asamani, Managing Director, Sub-Saharan Africa, PMI.
At the event, PMI will showcase its globally recognised certifications, such as the PMP, Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM), as well as its dynamic Membership benefits and PMI Infinity™ 2.0, an AI-powered project management coach designed to deepen expertise, master complex topics, and elevate execution to drive project success.
Powered by GPT-4o (omni), PMI Infinity™ 2.0 is optimised for quicker and more accurate results with an expanded knowledge base from firms like Cognilytica, Green Project Management & Centre for Creative Leadership. With new document generation capabilities and custom templates, PMI Infinity™ users can benefit from enhanced efficiency, productivity, and optimised workflows. Users can now input project details to create and refine essential documents for project-based work, such as project charter documents.
Studies show certified project managers deliver projects more successfully, improving productivity and reducing costly delays. According to the PMI’s Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey, project managers with PMP certification earn higher median salaries than those without PMP certification, 33% higher on average across the 21 countries surveyed. PMP-certified project professionals in Nigeria demonstrated an even greater lift, reporting an increase of 60% in median salary compared to their non-certified peers.
PMI membership further enhances this advantage by providing unparalleled opportunities for learning, collaboration, and professional growth. Members gain access to global thought leadership, advanced tools, and exclusive insights to tackle the complexities of the digital age. With mentorship opportunities, networking events, and a supportive global community, PMI membership empowers tech professionals to transform challenges into opportunities and advance their careers.
“Project professionals turn to PMI for cutting-edge resources and methodologies to drive transformation in their careers, organisations, and industries. Through our recent partnership with Scrum Alliance and Cognilytica’s acquisition we are expanding access to Agile resources while pioneering the integration of AI into project management. These advancements will empower professionals to lead confidently and navigate the complexities of AI-driven transformation on a global scale,” adds Asamani.
Attendees are invited to visit PMI’s booth at the Tech Revolution Africa, Oriental Hotel, Lagos, on January 31st and February 1st, 2025, to explore certification programmes, experience PMI Infinity™, and connect with industry leaders shaping Africa’s digital future.
“This strategic partnership between PMI and Tech Revolution Africa further strengthens the vibrant tech ecosystem, expanding the frontiers for more project professionals amongst innovators and the brightest talents you can find in Africa,” said David Ogebe, co-founder of Tech Revolution Africa.
