In the heartlands of Ghana, where the rhythm of life pulses with the cycles of agriculture, SAYeTECH stands as a beacon of innovation and transformation. Our journey began with a vision—to revolutionize the lives of smallholder farmers and uplift communities through the marriage of technology and agriculture.
At SAYeTECH, our commitment to empowering farmers and alleviating the burden of labor on women and children has been unwavering. Our strides towards achieving this noble goal have been supported by the invaluable contribution of AutoDesk. SAYeTECH got this support when the company attained the honorary finalist award from Autodesk-backed ‘DesignNext Africa’ competition in 2018.
For years, AutoDesk’s innovative suite of software has been our guiding light, enabling us to craft cutting-edge solutions that redefine post-harvest agriculture. The support we’ve received from AutoDesk Foundation, totaling over $65,000 worth of software since our inception, has been instrumental in shaping our journey. It’s through their software that the seeds of our ideas have found fertile ground to grow into life-changing equipment.
From multi-crop threshers to cereal dryers, multi-grain cleaners, cocoa-pod breaking machines, mills, and beyond, our array of smart post-harvest agricultural machines owes its genesis to the design capabilities of AutoDesk Inventor. These machines have not only saved tons of grains from loss but have also liberated 4,725 women and children from the toils of farm labor.
The impact goes far beyond numbers. The 10,600+ farmers reached stand as testimonies to the transformative power of technology when coupled with a profound mission. The 150,345 hours saved in schools, the $148,500 preserved in income for farmers, the 6,249 tons of carbon emissions saved, and the 227 jobs created stand as tangible markers of progress and a step in the right direction.
Through support-level collaborative efforts between SAYeTECH and AutoDesk, we’re not just designing machines; we’re crafting pathways out of poverty, we’re fostering education, and we’re championing sustainability. Together, we’re rewriting the narrative of agriculture—one that’s inclusive, efficient, and mindful of the environment.
We extend our deepest gratitude to AutoDesk and AutoDesk Foundation for their unwavering support. Their software has been the bedrock upon which our dreams have taken shape, and together, we’re sowing the seeds of change in the fields of Africa.
As we look towards the horizon, our commitment remains steadfast—to continue leveraging technology, innovation, and partnership to drive sustainable change in African Agriculture. Thank you, AutoDesk and AutoDesk Foundation, for being an indispensable ally in our mission to create a world where farming isn’t just a means of survival but a thriving opportunity for all.
Together, we are sculpting a future where poverty and hunger find no place amidst the abundance of Innovation and Service.
