Scaling Knowledge for Impact to Equip Innovators The continued development of AfriLabs Academy is a game-changer in equipping African entrepreneurs and innovation hub managers with the skills and knowledge they need to scale their ventures. Significant progress has already been made, with the platform now serving enrollees across 70 countries, offering courses in both Anglophone and Francophone languages to ensure inclusivity. The Digital Entrepreneurship Skills course alone has attracted 1435+ students from over 30 African and non-African countries, with Uganda leading in enrollments. Notably, 60% of learners have made substantial progress, and 1126+ have successfully obtained their certificates. Looking ahead, AfriLabs Academy is set to expand beyond its current curriculum by evolving into a crowdsourced marketplace of knowledge, enabling experts from across the continent to contribute specialized courses and create a dynamic, ever-growing repository of skills tailored to Africa’s innovation needs. Additionally, the integration of AI through Amari will provide personalized, assisted learning experiences, helping users navigate content more efficiently and receive tailored recommendations based on their learning paths. With our revenue projections targeting $112 million through grants and Moonshot initiatives by 2027, we are confident that the next chapter for AfriLabs will be one of greater impact, deeper partnerships, and more transformative change. Advancing Africa’s Digital Workforce AfriLabs is leveraging its extensive network to transform Africa into a formidable player in the global service industry. Through strategic partnerships with innovative platforms like remote.work, AfriLabs has facilitated the creation of over 100,000 job vacancies for African hubs and digital skills personnel. These roles empower local talent to engage in high-quality work—from delivering top-tier BPO services to international clients to driving critical digital transformation across the continent. By tapping into Africa’s digital workforce, AfriLabs is not only fueling economic growth but also enhancing the continent’s competitive edge on the global stage, positioning Africa as a key contributor to the worldwide service economy.
