At 25, I strive to break barriers and pave way for aspiring female engineers.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn 2022, I co-founded BlitzAgroTech Pvt Ltd, a startup focused on developing innovative agricultural solutions to mitigate climate change effects. Our success story began with a victory at the Innovation Drive Hackathon hosted by the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ), where we secured US$25,000 in seed funding. In 2024, I successfully won a research grant of US$50,000 from the Research Council of Zimbabwe (RCZ) towards financing the smart weather station project. As the only female director, I play a key role in providing unique business and technical expertise that drives BlitzAgroTech&#8217;s achievements.<br \/>\r\n <br \/>\r\nFrom June to August 2024, I  participated in the prestigious Mandela Washington Fellowship (Business Track) at Purdue University under the Agricultural and Biological Engineering Department, one of the leading programs in the USA. This experience allowed me to build  professional connections in the agricultural and technological industries across the USA and Africa, enhancing BlitzAgroTech&#8217;s ability to innovate and create lasting impact in Zimbabwe.<br \/>\r\n <br \/>\r\nBeyond entrepreneurship, I actively promote gender diversity in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector. I actively participate under the Girls in ICT Innovation Drive team to mentor and empower young women. I look forward to continuously aspire young girls in Zimbabwe to pursue careers in ICT and increase the percentage of women in the ICT industry.<br \/>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id='IPSSpeech1282-69' class='IPSmodalDialog' ><div><a href='#close' title='Close' class='IPSModalclose'>X<\/a><div class='IPSBioTable'><div class='IPSBioRow'><div class='IPSBioCellLeft'><img style='border-radius:5%;' class='IPSCardsPictureBio' src='https:\/\/www.itu.int\/itu-d\/meetings\/wp-content\/uploads\/IPS\/photos\/1282.jpg'\/><p class='IPSBioTitle'>Ms Claire Chaseya Makuyana<\/p><\/div><div class='IPSBioCellRight'><p><h3>No Title<\/h3><a title='Download No Title' target='blank' href='https:\/\/www.itu.int\/itu-d\/meetings\/wp-content\/uploads\/IPS\/documents\/25\/'><\/a><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/p><div class='IPSBioDescription'><p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='IPSAgenda-SpeakerContentRow'><div class='IPSAgenda-SpeakerContentCell'><div class=\"IPSAgenda-float-speaker\"><div class=\"IPSAgenda-float-speakerpicture\"><a title='Mr Lesdaniel Herrera Reyes' href='#IPSSpeaker1279-70'><img alt='Mr Lesdaniel Herrera Reyes' class='SpeakerPicture' src='https:\/\/www.itu.int\/itu-d\/meetings\/wp-content\/uploads\/IPS\/photos\/1279.jpg'\/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"IPSAgenda-float-speakerdetails\"><p class='IPSAgendaSpeakerName'>Mr Lesdaniel Herrera Reyes<\/p><p class='IPSAgendaSpeakerDetails'><br>ETECSA Transfermovil<br>Cuba<\/p><a class='AgendaLink' title='Biography' href='#IPSSpeaker1279-70'>Biography<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id='IPSSpeaker1279-70' class='IPSmodalDialog' ><div><a href='#close' title='Close' class='IPSModalclose'>X<\/a><div class='IPSBioTable'><div class='IPSBioRow'><div class='IPSBioCellLeft'><img style='border-radius:5%;' class='IPSCardsPictureBio' src='https:\/\/www.itu.int\/itu-d\/meetings\/wp-content\/uploads\/IPS\/photos\/1279.jpg'\/><p class='IPSBioTitle'>Mr Lesdaniel Herrera Reyes<\/p><\/div><div class='IPSBioCellRight'><div class='IPSBioDescription'><p>Lesdaniel Herrera Reyes is a professional focused on the development of national IT solutions highly impacting on Cuban society.
