In October, Ocean’s Creek Beach Hotel welcomed key leaders, innovators, and rising talent for the Women in Tech Africa Mauritius Chapter 2025 Conference. As a proud, established sponsor, Honoris Educational Network supported this crucial industry event, which celebrated inclusion, digital advancement, and the inspirational women shaping the future of technology in Africa.

Spotlight on Innovation and Inclusion

The conference operated under the theme “Empowering Women in Tech: Driving African Innovation through AI, Leadership and Inclusion”. As an institution focused on STEM diversity and digital education, Honoris Educational Network noted that discussions explored the evolving, vital role of women in the tech ecosystem.

Attendees benefited from engaging keynotes delivered by subject matter experts, thoughtful panel discussions on AI ethics and generative AI, and practical skills workshops. This programme created an ideal environment for professional learning, reflection, and collaboration among Africa’s leading women technologists.

Furthermore, valuable networking sessions encouraged mentorship, partnership-building, and the sharing of diverse perspectives across key industries, boosting the professional development of all participants.

Significant Recognition for Honoris’s Leadership and Expertise

A highly memorable moment of the event was the Women in Tech Africa Mauritius Chapter Awards 2025, which formally recognised exceptional professional achievements across the fields of leadership, entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, academia, and philanthropy.

This year, Honoris Educational Network celebrated a proud and significant moment as Tasneem Jaumally, our Managing Director (MD), was awarded the Women in Tech Gold Award for Strong Allyship. This recognition publicly affirms the deep commitment of our leadership to promoting gender equality within the African tech sector.

“To me, allyship means using your voice, position, and daily actions to make things fairer, more inclusive, and kinder for others. It means standing beside strong women and lifting each other up,” the MD shared, demonstrating genuine personal experience and trustworthiness.

Continuing Our Mission in African Education

As Africa’s first private pan-African education network, Honoris remains fully committed to strengthening diversity in STEM and supporting women’s professional advancement in digital fields. Our active involvement with the Women in Tech Mauritius Chapter is a direct and strategic alignment with our core mission to promote inclusive education, ethical innovation, and accessible opportunities for all learners across the continent.

We leverage our expertise and authoritativeness in education, offering supported online distance learning programmes from MANCOSA and REGENT Business School, and technical courses from Red & Yellow Creative School of Business (South Africa).

Looking Ahead: Championing the Next Generation

The 2025 conference reinforced an important truth: when women make progress in technology, the entire continent progresses with them. Honoris Educational Network, through its ongoing commitment to education and digital skills development, will continue championing initiatives that uplift women and inspire the next generation of African innovators in tech.
