Potential opportunities for AWE in Nigeria
- Itoga village rice-field irrigationAirborneWindEnergy
- Waterways transport
- Fishing kiting, fishing trolling,
- Waterways resistance use of kite systems
- Mobile generator vehicle using AWECS.
- Using AWECS energy gains to form and store hydrogen.
- Global business development director for KiteLabGroup
- Paravanes in waterways
- KiteLab Group set of tech shares underway.
- Argungu Fishing Festival wiki
- Argungu International Fishing & Cultural Festival AIFF in Kebbi state
- Raise state and event flags by kites.
- Teams competing keeping a kite up in the air when there is calm. Running around is one event. Another is to manually crank a two-line tensional tower.
- AfriWEA
- AWECS methodologies in water: ocean current off SE South Africa is a world class multi gigaWatt opportunity with Airborne Wind Energy Technology. "One can keep the biggest generators & anchors on shore & drag vast trains of drogues in the flow."

Online Students for Wind/AWE course
This category of students is not restricted to a geographical location. They will be given access to Bridge-Link course materials/contents online. They will as well interact with their lecturers/tutorial assistants online. However, they will sit for the mid-semester and terminal exams with other categories of students. The various exams would take place in either in Ibadan or Lagos.

Africa: AWE Training Camps
The regional AWEIA
rep for Africa has spawned the concept of
AWE Training Camps where people can train to handle AWECS.
So far:
- KiteLab Group (KG) AWE mentor Dave Santos with our Africa regional AWEIA rep John Oyebanji are forming the outlines of what could be a movement throughout the world. Engineers at AWE new starts, technicians who will be handling fielded AWECS, operators, managers, extra-hands, etc. could do well to become skilled with safe arts and skills involved in AWECS. Hands-on building and flying sport-sized AWECS can be a good preamble to activity in nomadicAWE, residentialAWE, and even commercialAWE and utilityAWE.
