A MESSAGE TO AFRICA
This achievement belongs to Mauritius, but its significance extends far beyond our shores.
Mauritius has made history as the first African STEM Racing franchise to qualify two teams for the 2026 World Finals in Singapore. Now, we are taking another major step forward.
STEM Racing has approved the development of Mauritius as the future STEM Racing Africa Hub, creating a platform to expand the programme across the continent.
Under the leadership of Andrew Denford, CEO of STEM Racing, and Frédérique Trouvé, Head of Impact and Development, working closely with François Mark, STEM Racing Mauritius ICC, we aim to build a connected African STEM Racing ecosystem.
Our vision is to develop national programmes, Centres of Excellence, partnerships and continental competitions, with the ambition of hosting the first STEM Racing African Continental Cup in 2028.
We also aim to support existing programmes in Algeria, Kenya, Morocco, Rwanda and South Africa, while welcoming more African countries to join.
Talent exists everywhere. Young people need opportunities, support and the chance to shine on the international stage.
To our students: you have made Mauritius proud.
To our partners: thank you for believing in this vision.
To Africa: this is an invitation to join the journey.
We started with a vision. We built a programme. We reached the world stage. Now, we are building a platform for Africa.
Let us build the future of STEM Racing in Africa — together.
Beyond the Finish Line: Our Journey to the World Finals
From months of preparation and teamwork to the excitement of competing on the world stage in Singapore, every moment has been an unforgettable experience.
Our students had the opportunity to showcase their talent, challenge themselves, connect with young innovators from around the world and experience the incredible atmosphere of the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix circuit.
More than a competition, it was a journey of discovery, friendship, learning and inspiration — an experience that brought dreams closer to reality and made Mauritius proud.
The challenge was extraordinary. The memories will last a lifetime. The journey has only just begun!
