This intensive two-week training course started with a welcome address by Mr Pascal Marcolino, representative of the AUF- Benin, and a speech by Prof. Enoch Gbenato Achigan-Dako, Director of GBioS.
In his opening speech, Mr Pascal Marcolino stressed the importance of digitalisation in all sectors and urged participants to seize this opportunity to enrich their knowledge.
"Digitalisation has an impact on all areas. Make the most of this training to equip yourselves further," he said.
Several modules will be taught by outstanding trainers and researchers from the University of Abomey Calavi, AgroSfer and other institutions. The first module, entitled "Precision Agriculture and Drone Piloting", has already been launched and will continue over the next few days.
