For more than a decade, First Atlantic Semiconductors and Microelectronics Ltd (FASMICRO) has served as an Intel Technology Partner across Africa, providing advanced microelectronics and engineering solutions that help institutions and industries build modern technology systems. As Africa’s only Altera programmable microprocessor knowledge partner, FASMICRO supports organizations in designing, developing, and deploying embedded and intelligent systems that power sectors such as telecoms, energy infrastructure, industrial automation, and smart devices.
Today, many African governments are making significant investments to strengthen the technical and research capabilities of universities. At FASMICRO, we see this as a powerful opportunity to help universities transform their laboratories into innovation hubs that align with real industry needs. Our message to universities is simple: we are here to help you build world-class Embedded Systems and Artificial Intelligence laboratories.
Through our approach, we bring industrial intelligence directly into university laboratories, ensuring that what students learn reflects the real technologies shaping global markets. From Physical AI and robotics to PCB design, embedded systems engineering, FPGA development, and edge computing, our labs cover the full stack of modern hardware innovation.
Importantly, this effort is strengthened through a strategic partnership between FASMICRO and Tekedia Institute. Together, we develop the courseware, manuals, design kits, and operational materials required for universities to run these laboratories effectively. The goal is not only to install equipment but also to create a complete academic ecosystem that enables teaching, experimentation, and research.
This mission is deeply personal to me. Many years ago, during my NYSC service, I remember waking up to a radio announcement on Radio Nigeria by Orji Ogbonnaya Orji that the government under President Olusegun Obasanjo had released funds to support university lecturers and professors. Inspired by that moment, I began visiting faculty homes, helping professors acquire and install their first personal computers. Within weeks, we had assembled and installed dozens of systems for teachers. That initiative even helped me raise enough capital to purchase my first car, an old Honda Accord imported from the Netherlands.
Today, hearing that universities again have access to funding to improve their infrastructure brings back that same spirit of opportunity, only this time at a much larger scale. Our team is currently in Owerri and available to meet with institutions interested in upgrading their technical infrastructure. From Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology to the University of Nairobi, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, and many other institutions, FASMICRO has proudly served the African continent.
Let more here.
