Barry heads two digital projects, providing solutions to both young tech entrepreneurs and the general public. He is always on the lookout for “the next thing to create.”

Adulaï Bary (photo) is a Bissau-Guinean serial entrepreneur and co-founder of incubator InnovaLab GW.  Thanks to the Bissau-based incubator he co-founded in 2016 (with Claudinecia Cabral), he built an ecosystem that facilitates innovative entrepreneurship in the education, agriculture, health, and infrastructure sectors. He offers local innovators the opportunity to mature their project ideas and create successful startups. 

He is also the founder of BIGTechnologies SARL (founded in 2014), which develops IT solutions for public and private institutions. Through BIGTechnologies SARL, he designed Ubuntu 2S, a smart solar home, and kiosk system, which helps provide clean energy in remote areas. With Ubuntu 2S, he wants to contribute to digital inclusion in rural areas by first solving their energy access problems.  The project, which is operational since 2020, won the Live Innovation Impact Grant Program at the Dubai 2020 World Expo. 

In conjunction with his entrepreneurship career, Bary also has prolific professional experience. With a BSc in Applied Computer Science (obtained in 2012), he started his professional career as a storage manager for MOGJ Commerce, a local commercial firm. The same year, he joined Orange Bissau as a support systems engineer before his promotion to the position of functional manager. 

After leaving Orange Bissau, in 2018, he became a UNDP consultant for business incubator feasibility. From 2019 to 2020, he was also a youth employment specialist for the International Organization for Migration (IOM). 

Apart from his BSc in applied computer science, Adulaï Bary also has an MBA in Business and entrepreneurship obtained, in 2016, from the University of Nevada, during his Mandela Washington Fellowship. In 2017, he took part in the Global Entrepreneurship Summit.  Then, from 2017 to 2019, the serial entrepreneur was the Bissau Guinean ambassador to Next Einstein Forum, which highlights breakthrough discoveries and promotes scientific cooperation. In 2018, he was selected as one of the 100 most influential West African young leaders.
