To counter a growing epidemic of online fraud during Cybersecurity Awareness Month this October, JA Africa (www.JA-Africa.org) has launched CyberSmart, a practical digital security course that equips young Africans with simple, lifelong habits that keep cybercriminals at bay. Aligned with this year's Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme, "Don't Make It Easy for Them," the course delivers actionable digital safety education directly to young people across the continent. The launch comes at a critical time. According to INTERPOL’s African Cyberthreat Assessment Report 2026, Africa now has approximately 570 million internet users who depend on digital platforms for banking, healthcare, education, and government services. Yet the security systems, laws, and institutions meant to protect them have not kept up with the speed of adoption, leaving users exposed to cybercriminals. According to the same research findings, reported cybercrime losses across Africa more than doubled between 2024 and 2025, rising from US$192 million to US$484 million, while identified victims grew from 35,000 to 87,000. INTERPOL estimates that cybercrime caused at least US$5 billion in direct economic damage across the continent in 2025, and that 55% of reported cases involved AI in some form. Mobile money fraud is now the most prevalent online scam, with 97% of responding countries identifying it as a major threat. Digital inclusion across Africa has expanded access to education and financial tools, but cyber education has struggled to keep pace. Young people often expose themselves to identity theft, phishing scams, and account takeovers without realizing it, because they lack practical security habits. "Every young person deserves the confidence to learn, work, connect, and build their future safely online," said Simi Nwogugu, President and CEO of JA Africa. "Through CyberSmart, JA Africa is empowering Africa's next generation with the digital safety skills needed to thrive in an increasingly connected world. By building simple cyber-safe habits today, young people can protect their opportunities tomorrow." Unlike generic, highly technical cybersecurity courses, CyberSmart was built for the day-to-day realities of young Africans: Relatable contexts: Local scenarios and African characters navigating real situations, from protecting mobile money PINs to spotting AI-driven phishing. Bilingual and free: Available free of charge in English and French. Short, interactive learning: Three quick modules with videos, quizzes, and practical exercises. A gateway to high-growth careers: An introduction to cybersecurity paths, including ethical hacking, digital forensics, cyber law, and cybersecurity analysis. "We designed CyberSmart around the moments young people actually face online: the urgent message from a fake agent, the link that looks almost right, the request for a one-time password," said Bimpe Olufemi, Vice President, Digital, JA Africa. "When learners recognize these situations in characters and scenarios that look like their own lives, the lessons stick. Our goal is to turn awareness into everyday habits that young people carry into school, work, and business." As a leader in youth entrepreneurship, financial-health, and work-readiness education across Africa, JA Africa is extending its reach into digital safety, now a foundational life skill for success in education, entrepreneurship, and employment. CyberSmart is hosted on JA Africa's Skills Lab platform, which has reached more than 100,000 young people across the continent since 2020, and can be accessed on any internet-enabled device. JA Africa calls on parents, secondary school teachers, university lecturers, and community leaders to help young people build good digital habits early, at home, in schools, and in communities. Looking ahead, JA Africa will work with its member organizations to bring CyberSmart into schools and youth learning spaces across the continent. The organization welcomes collaboration with ministries of education, technology companies, financial institutions, and telecom providers to expand access and help more young people stay safe online. How to access the free course Students, parents, and educators can enroll in CyberSmart for free today at https://apo-opa.co/4inZuKv.

Strong international growth continues: New customers acquired across numerous European countries R&D platform Clusterix now established in 14 countries TUTZING, GERMANY - October 15, 2026 - innoscripta SE (ISIN: DE000A40QVM8, the “Company”) has acquired new customers in several European countries during the current financial year as part of its growth strategy. In Poland, the Company has signed contracts with businesses across various industries, including automotive suppliers, telecommunications and household goods, that benefit from the Polish R&D tax relief scheme. innoscripta has also gained customers in other European markets, including Romania, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Slovakia and the Netherlands. Together with Germany and its existing customer relationships in Austria, France, the United Kingdom and the United States, innoscripta now serves customers in 14 countries, each with its own regulatory framework for R&D tax incentives, through its digital platform Clusterix. One Documentation Framework, Multiple Countries Almost every European country offers tax incentives for research and development, but each has its own instruments and regulatory requirements. To qualify for these incentives, companies must provide supporting documentation demonstrating which employees worked on which projects, when they performed the work and how much time they spent. innoscripta's Clusterix platform addresses these documentation requirements efficiently. It enables the ongoing recording of project hours by employee, day and project, supported by system-based plausibility checks and monthly approval by the project managers responsible, all recorded transparently. This is a particularly important advantage for internationally operating corporate groups: companies with R&D facilities in multiple countries can use a consistent documentation framework, regardless of the specific tax incentive scheme applicable in each jurisdiction. Poland, in particular, represents an attractive growth market for innoscripta. Under the Polish R&D tax relief scheme (ulga B+R), eligible R&D personnel costs can be deducted at a rate of 200%. As in Germany, the Polish Corporate Income Tax Act provides that personnel costs qualify only in proportion to the time actually spent on research and development by each employee during the respective month. In addition, Polish law explicitly requires R&D costs to be recorded separately in the company's accounting records. Clusterix's monthly, employee-level time tracking enables the Company's customers to meet these demanding documentation requirements, making Poland a market with attractive growth potential. With its Clusterix platform, innoscripta can leverage synergies and reach new customers across a wide range of European markets. Sebastian Schwertlein, COO of innoscripta SE, commented: “We developed Clusterix for the most demanding market we knew: Germany. The fact that customers from different industries in Poland, the Netherlands and Finland are now turning to us demonstrates that this documentation framework works across borders and is fully scalable wherever R&D incentives depend on reliable supporting evidence. Fourteen countries are not an endpoint for us. This is clear evidence that our platform delivers value to businesses across Europe.” About innoscripta innoscripta SE offers Clusterix, a scalable software platform for the structured organization and management of research and development activities. Companies use Clusterix to efficiently manage innovation projects, digitize internal processes, and make their R&D activities transparent and scalable.
