Let the youth lead, and Africa will soar The African continent has the youngest population on the globe. In numerical terms, the continent is home to approximately 400 million people under the age of 35, with 70% of sub-Saharan Africa being inhabited by people under the age of 30. However, despite statistics clearly indicating that individuals aged 35 years and under are the majority demographic, there exists much room for youth-led interventions, leadership, and empowerment initiatives.

Namibian Kezia Henckert recognised in ‘Atoms Empowering Africa’ competition Namibian Kezia Henckert is one of 13 young talents from six African countries recognised for the creative exploration of nuclear technologies. Rosatom officially announced the winners of the 2025 edition of the annual video competition, ‘Atoms Empowering Africa’, this week. The initiative aims to inspire young Africans to engage with nuclear science and technology as drivers of the continent’s sustainable future. This year’s competition invited participants to submit short videos reflecting on three creative themes: ‘The Honour of the Past’, ‘The Inspiration of the Present’, and ‘The Dream of the Future’. The competition encouraged entrants to examine the legacy of nuclear innovation, highlight current applications, and imagine future possibilities, in celebration of 80 years of the Russian nuclear industry. The other winners are Makibi Angel, Ntuli Philasande, and Chaba Koketso from South Africa, Ibrahim Mohamed Mohsen, Farah Ashraf, Omar Ashraf, Samia Ossama, and Ibrahim Mansor from Egypt, Kiilu Immanuel Mwendwa and Tubula Ole NtomeTitus from Kenya, Muhanzi Guy N’nahano from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Abdoul Jansha from Burundi. Rosatom central and southern African chief executive Ryan Collyer said the 2025 participants impressed the judges with the depth of their ideas and the exceptional quality of their work. “As we commemorate 80 years of the Russian nuclear industry, it’s incredibly meaningful to see young Africans engage so thoughtfully with this theme. These voices are not just telling compelling stories – they are helping shape a vision of the future grounded in sustainability, innovation, and scientific exchange,” he said. Open to students and young professionals aged 18 to 35, the 2025 edition received over 50 entries from across Africa. A panel of international experts, including judges from South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Namibia, Burkina Faso and Burundi, ensured a fair and equitable evaluation process based on four criteria: originality and novelty of the idea, artistic and conceptual creativity, relevance to the competition’s core themes, and overall production quality, including visual execution and editing. The winners will travel to Russia where they will visit nuclear industry sites, including the Atom Pavilion at VDNKh in Moscow.

The biggest risk is inaction.
Without new funding models like Afrik, Africa’s innovation potential goes untapped.
Let’s rethink how we finance our future.
