Newdigit Shortlisted for the British Royal Academy of Engineering Africa Prize Innovation
Newdigit's Just Add Water, A Quantum-AI Optimized Regenerative Fuel Cell has been shortlisted for the prestigious Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation, founded by the Royal Academy of Engineering, the continent's leading award dedicated to engineering breakthroughs.
The Africa Prize recognises and supports transformative innovations that address Africa's most pressing challenges, advancing both economic growth and quality of life through engineering excellence.
At the heart of our innovation is a bold vision: turning water into power and life-saving oxygen.
Our Just Add Water system delivers:
- Clean, reliable electricity from 15 kW to 1 MW
- Medical-grade oxygen from 40 L/day to 1,000 L/day
