Odoo Business Show, December 2025
Nearly 1,000 business leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, technologists, and students gathered in Kigali for the Odoo Business Show, marking Rwanda’s largest enterprise technology event to date. The showcase focused on the growing demand for digital business management and demonstrated how integrated tools like Odoo can streamline operations, cut costs, and support organisational growth. Live demonstrations highlighted that ERP systems are no longer reserved for large corporations; even small and medium businesses or individual entrepreneurs can benefit from automation and digitisation.
GlobX emphasised that adopting Odoo does more than digitise workflows; it helps businesses operate more efficiently, make better decisions, and improve transparency by connecting financial processes directly to real operations. The platform’s flexibility across multiple industries — including retail, manufacturing, finance, logistics, and services — was a key takeaway, reinforcing Odoo as a scalable, future-ready solution for Rwanda’s rapidly modernising business landscape.
Rwanda’s Digital Rise Meets Odoo 19’s Next-Gen Innovation
Odoo’s Version 19 introduces enhanced AI capabilities and a new ESG module that helps companies track sustainability metrics like energy savings and carbon impact. According to Muthui, rapid digitization is pushing businesses to streamline operations while supporting global sustainability standards. He emphasized that user data remains fully protected, with access only upon request and safeguards aligned with GDPR. Odoo is designed to serve SMEs, medium businesses, and large enterprises seeking efficiency, accurate financial reporting, and stronger decision-making. Organizers noted that Rwanda’s leadership in ICT adoption makes integrated and efficient systems increasingly important as businesses expand.
