"I strongly believe that by bringing together young African and German leaders in the AGYLE programme, to have them both establish a business network but also to develop innovative business models together as a team, we can create a long-lasting and sustainable partnership with promising solutions and create a highly valuable bridge as well as bond between the two continents. I also hope that we, the AGYLE participants, can dispel the prejudices and misconceptions when it comes to the African continent and show that Africa has the potential to go much further especially with regard to its young and high potential population as well as ideas and innovations in the entrepreneurship and startup scene."

Katharina Mudahemuka`s experience ranges from innovation and entrepreneurship to the public sector as well as organizations focusing on global health and HIV/AIDS. So far, she has lived and worked in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United States, Algeria, Uganda, and Rwanda; Katharina has worked for organizations such as UNAIDS, GIZ as well as the Federal Foreign Office. East Africa has become a major part of her life since she was a volunteer in Uganda following high school and it has stayed crucial to her until today.

In 2020, Katharina moved to Kigali as the project lead for the StAfrica project – a collaboration between the University of Koblenz and the University of Rwanda, a project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. The objective on the ground is the promotion and support of business startups from the field of science – while collaborating closely with the University of Rwanda to sensitize, motivate, advise, and support the students in their pursuit of establishing their businesses in Germany. Apart from her full-time job in the StArfrica project, Katharina is also the managing director of her own Rwandan company iinama ltd., which aims to provide professional and high-quality training in the field of entrepreneurial education and job readiness in order to consolidate the foundation of Rwandan society.
