What We Do

The African continent faces a massive growth of population and little/no job opportunities despite the wealth of man power and resources that the continent can harness. Amongst challenges faced by such communities within the continent include:

Africa is a leading continent in consumption of foreign technology and hardly is it a producer of technology, while challenges are in plenty so are opportunities that can be leveraged to solve the pressing challenges of the future. While leaving in the cutting edge of technology Africa still lags behind in terms of access inclusive of access to infrastructure, technology and/or the digital skills, hence facing a huge digital divide across the continent.

With fast digitalization of services and businesses less and less jobs require physical manpower, in the near future majority of youth will come from some of Africa’s biggest cities with little or no decentralization of opportunities majority will not be able to realize their potential. As we are on the onset of the 4th industrial revolution it’s now more important than ever for communities to leverage the three areas that will be the base for sustainable development this is Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
