Our Vision
For too long, the ingenuity and creativity of African innovators have been overlooked, underfunded, and often unrecognized on a global stage. We believe this needs to change. Our vision is a future where African innovation is not just acknowledged, but celebrated, supported, and integrated into the global landscape of progress. We envision a world where African solutions to African and global challenges are given the prominence they deserve.
Why This Matters
Africa is a continent brimming with talent, resourcefulness, and a deep understanding of its own unique challenges. From groundbreaking technological advancements to ingenious solutions for local communities, African innovators are constantly developing ideas that have the potential to transform lives. However, a lack of recognition and support systems often stifles these innovations, preventing them from reaching their full potential and benefiting the world.
What We Do
We work through a variety of programs and initiatives to achieve our vision, including:
- Annual Innovation Awards: Recognizing and celebrating outstanding African innovations.
- Online Platform: Showcasing African innovators and their work to a global audience.
- Mentorship Program: Connecting experienced professionals with aspiring African innovators.
- Incubator and Accelerator Programs: Providing resources and support to help African startups scale their innovations.
- Advocacy and Policy Work: Promoting policies that support African innovation.
