Online event focuses on Technology in Business

The Scottish Africa Recruitment Group (SCOTARG) has been running a new series of online events for graduates of Scottish universities from, and who have an interest in, the African continent. Scheduled every two months, each online event is focused on one specific thematic area. The event provides attendees with the opportunity to listen to presentations from academics in the sector and engage with current debates and conversations, to learn from fellow alumni about their experiences, and hear how they have progressed in their career since graduating from a Scottish university. 

This latest event focuses on 'Technology in Business' and takes place on January 27 from 5.30-7pm on Zoom.

Strathclyde Business School's Professor Alec Morton, head of the Management Science Department, will introduce the event and give an overview of the Technology in Business sector, as well as moderate the question and answer session at the end. James Bowden, Programme Director of the MSc Financial Technology, will then give an overview of the Financial Technology Sector.

The event will also hear from two alumni. Riaz Moola, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, is now CEO and Founder of HyperionDev and CoGrammar and he will talk about his journey 'from Graduation to Present' while Lilian Chinelo, a University of Glasgow graduate, will talk about 'Moving into the Technology Sector'.
