At the closing of Ambition Africa 2025 hosted by Business France under the aegis of the Ministry of Economy, Finance, Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, Snapplify was formally awarded second place in the prestigious Innovation Competition, recognising our impact in expanding equitable, scalable access to educational content across Africa.
“Being recognised at this level reaffirms that African-led innovation can drive meaningful change at scale,” said Wesley Lynch, Snapplify’s CEO, who presented the final pitch in Paris. “Access to tools like Book Buddy - that support comprehension, independence, and real learning outcomes - is essential for education equity. This recognition highlights how urgently education systems need scalable, proven solutions.”
A milestone for digital education
This recognition reflects more than innovation – it affirms the power of tools that deliver real outcomes for learners, teachers, and entire education systems. Snapplify’s platform, which includes a digital library and Book Buddy, our AI-powered learning companion, stood out for its ability to increase access, support independent learning, and close learning gaps in overcrowded or under-resourced classrooms.
Delivering measurable outcomes
As education systems across the continent face resource constraints and limited content access, Snapplify’s award-winning tools are helping institutions:
- Provide curriculum-aligned digital content at scale
- Enable learners to read, comprehend and engage independently through AI-supported tools
- Partner with ministries, universities and schools to embed access into everyday teaching and learning
What this means moving forward
Being awarded second place strengthens our position to:
- Open new partnerships with governments, publishers and funders across Africa and beyond
- Deepen our support to institutions seeking scalable, proven digital solutions
- Provide education systems with internationally recognised tools that improve learning outcomes
