OrganizerAlfajiri Hub
Organizer of Women of Excellence: Business Leadership Workshop
Alfajiri’s mission is to help close the digital gap and create a entrepreneurial Africa through education. We believe that Africa’s problems will be solved by its productive and competent citizens, so we created a space for people to network, learn and most importantly get reskilled. We are striving to build a better Africa.
Our Vision
- Support entrepreneurs
- Produce a competent population through education and reskilling
- Encourage collaborative business culture (through art, business, and entertainment)
- Promote technological advancement by encourage the youth to get involved in science & tech
- Connect African entrepreneurs from different regions across the continent
We hope to achieve this through:
- Reskilling programs
- Hands-on workshops
- Talks and fireside chats
- Business idea pitch competitions
- Exhibitions and entertianment events
The Hub will be utilized by not only our portfolio companies but other organizations that care about constantly improving their staff.
We believe that; if as a society we produce a competent generation of people, regardless of where they live or work, it’s a win for the entire economy. It’s common knowledge now that formal education alone is just not enough. There are so many graduates in Africa but are unemployable because of a lack of modern skills. Sometimes, what it takes for these graduates to make a switch is simply exposure to new ideas, technologies, and networking circles. Alfajiri Hub is a place where real mindset transformation happens.
