The strategy "Developing TerraBridge's Comprehensive Strategy for 2026" is focused on establishing TerraBridge as a key player in Nigeria's geology and engineering sectors. It emphasizes the importance of strengthening fellowship and training programs. For instance, TerraBridge aims to refine fellowship models to benefit both early- and mid-career professionals and establish partnerships with international academic institutions to enhance credibility. Incorporating digital tools such as GIS in training helps adapt to modern industry needs.
Separately, the strategy underscores the necessity of building a robust research and data infrastructure. This involves creating a Data Bank for Nigeria’s geological data and forming partnerships for data sharing. Engaging government and policymakers in data-sharing agreements can lead to improved data storage protocols and better resource monitoring.
Lastly, enhancing the digital, platform, and ecosystem presence is crucial for TerraBridge’s success. Developing a digital application for collaboration, launching newsletters to engage stakeholders, and running marketing campaigns to raise awareness are key steps. The strategy also outlines plans for scaling this digital presence across Africa, demonstrating a long-term vision for expansion.
