Everyone say thank you to @_KingNath of Terra Industries (@Terrahaptix ). ICYMI: x.com/i/spaces/1vAxR…

Q: If you rubbed 'THE LAMP', what's your wish for @Terrahaptix ? A: Africa's assets and infrastructure under the protection of Terra. Beyond the money, we need more tools and more technology and security is the only way. #TechThisWeekRadio #TerraSecurity

Q: What is your talent pipeline at Terra Industries? A: We train every engineer we hire for drone manufacturing, but it's not rocket science. The most challenging part of drone operation is not building the drones; it's the software. #TechThisWeekRadio #TerraSecurity

Terra Industries is already working in 9 countries across Africa with plans to manufacture in more than one country soon. #TechThisWeekRadio #TerraSecurity

Terra is by Africans for Africans. They will not want to align with any governments or states. #TechThisWeekRadio #TerraSecurity

Terra Industries (@Terrahaptix ), we'll be here to break the expansion news. #TechThisWeekRadio #TerraHaptixSecurity

Small break in transmission but we’re back. Please join us again. 💜

75% of @Terrahaptix's components are manufactured at home; In the Abuja, Nigeria manufacturing plant. @_KingNath says Africa has some of the smartest engineers and skilled workers for production. "We need more people to take a bet on Africa." #TechThisWeekRadio…

There have been even bigger contracts that can't be announced due to the sensitivity of the work. #TechThisWeekRadio #TerraHaptixSecurity

Terra's work is about quality control, and an integrated system that is tailored to every client's need. With it's $1.2 million contract to protect Nigerian hydro plants, the company also gets a six figure fee annually. #TechThisWeekRadio #TerraHaptixSecurity

That’s 15 years in human age.

He @_KingNath took a bet on himself at 15. After an accident that resulted in him losing one eye in secondary school. He dropped out of University in Canada, where he had a scholarship, because he wanted to grow with the software industry. PS: He's not saying 'do what I did'…

We really love African tech!

In the words of @_KingNath, 'Terra is really a software company masquerading as a manufacturing company.' #TechThisWeekRadio #TerraHaptixSecurity

Q: Funding??? A: (And this is an exclusive), TerraHaptix has done contracts worth $10 million across Africa in the past few years. Also, yes, they have raised money though undisclosed. Finally, their software, ArtemisOS is paid for on a subscription basis. #TechThisWeekRadio…

They moved from bionics, an already tough industry, to security, which is just as tough. @_KingNath believes Africa will not truly develop in other areas if its security is not airtight. Someone needs to solve that problem. And Terrahaptix (@Terrahaptix ) is that guy!…

Terrahaptix became Terra Industries (@Terrahaptix ) when it transitioned from technology for people with disabilities to drone security. @_KingNath, being disabled himself, wanted to build technology for his community. #TechThisWeekRadio #Terrahaptixsecurity

We're live!
