Kigali Hardware Meetup
July 17, 2026 — Kigali, Rwanda
Kigali Hardware Meetup
A monthly evening for robotics, IoT, and hardware engineers to demo works-in-progress, compare supply-chain notes, and find collaborators. Join us on July 17, 2026, at the Norrsken Workshop Floor.
Presented by
Nyala Robotics
Bring the thing that does not work yet
Demos over slides, every time.
The Meetup runs on one rule: bring hardware. Half-finished, held together with tape, refusing to boot — all welcome. The value is in the room full of people who have hit the same wall.
Between demos, an open supply-chain board lets engineers compare lead times, customs headaches, and which suppliers actually ship on schedule.
