WE-Africa: Digital Platform Driving Water & Energy Innovation
DastN GmbH and the University of Duisburg-Essen launched the WE-Africa Membrane Knowledge Hub. The platform drives collaboration, sustainable solutions, and faster technology transfer.
About WE-Africa
WE-Africa, led by the University of Duisburg-Essen with partners in Egypt, Ghana, and Morocco, is tackling Africa’s most urgent water and energy challenges. By uniting academia, industry, and local communities, the initiative drives innovation, skills development, and technology transfer to create sustainable growth and environmental protection.
This client represents exactly the kind of forward-thinking organization we serve: one that needs
secure, scalable, and user-friendly digital platforms to bring diverse stakeholders together and transform vision into measurable impact.
From Complex Needs to a Unified Platform
WE-Africa needed a secure, easy-to-use digital hub to connect universities and industry across borders—without adding complexity or risking compliance.
Key challenges:
- Secure, GDPR-compliant data exchange
- Engaging diverse stakeholders across countries
-
Built-in e-learning, events, and docs to drive collaboration
A Secure, Scalable Hub on Odoo 17
DastN delivered the Membrane Knowledge Hub on Odoo Community 17, engineered for scale and cross-border collaboration. We implemented role-based access and GDPR-aligned workflows to keep data safe while making the platform fast, reliable, and easy to maintain for universities and industry partners.
Tools That Turn Collaboration into Impact
The Hub ships with what users actually need: collaboration spaces and secure file sharing, e-learning modules, event/webinar management, and robust document management with auditing—all enhanced by AI-assisted experiences and mobile-ready access. Result: stakeholders learn, share, and organize in one place—no friction, just progress.
