Mr. Oluwaranti Jasper Netufo, Managing Director of Whitecloud TVET, a key player in the industry, hinted that his company in partnership with its international technical partner, Seabery International, will unveil the latest welding technology during the TWF Assembly 2024.
The Speaker at the Annual Assembly and International Conference will be Antonio Fernandez Perez, who is the Business and Partnerships Director at Seabery International Augmented Technology.
He’ll be speaking on the theme, “Modernizing Welding Training in Nigeria: A Path to Global Skill Export.”
Perez will be bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to the forefront in welding innovation. As a seasoned professional in the field of International Business, Perez has spent over seven years spearheading transformative initiatives that modernise welding training on a global scale.
Perez recognises the pivotal role welding plays in Africa’s industrial growth. He understands that welding isn’t just about joining metals; it’s about building bridges, infrastructure and economic progress.
Africa faces a critical shortage of skilled welders. Antonio acknowledges this challenge and believes that investing in training and capacity-building is the key to bridging this gap.
His work at Seabery Augmented Technology focuses on empowering welders through cutting-edge solutions.
By leveraging Augmented Reality (AR) simulation technology, Antonio aims to revolutionize welding education. Imagine welders practicing intricate techniques virtually, honing their skills without wasting precious materials.
Antonio’s vision aligns with the urgent need to produce more skilled welders across the continent.
Antonio’s role as the Director of Business & Partnerships at Sea berry Augmented Technology places him at the forefront of AR-driven training.
Seabery’s innovative platform, Soldamatic, combines real-world workshop practices with AR simulations. It’s a game-changer for welders, instructors, and industries alike.
The discussion at the panel session during the TWF Assembly 2024 will focus on “African Content Projections in Manufacturing and Energy Development – Addressing Technical and Economic Misconceptions.”
The panel session will be moderated by the Managing Director, Nigerian Foundaries Limited, Vassily Oye B while Mr. Nick Odinuwe, Chairman, PETAN; Engr Chris Ijeli, MD, Dormanlong Engineering Nigeria; Engr.
