Building A Thriving Innovation Economy
Afrilabs Values
UBUNTU We believe in shared experience and collaboration. Our work is made possible and better through the strength of our community and partners, and our combined desire to see a thriving innovation economy in Africa driven by the power of our community. Our impact is only felt because it feeds into the impact of those we work with. We participate where we can make a significant contribution. WE EXPERIMENT AND WE ARE CURIOUS We relentlessly try and test solutions in a quest to serve our ecosystem better. Many times we succeed, but sometimes we fail. When we fail, we learn and move forward with an evidence base that makes us better. WE ARE PAN AFRICAN We are dedicated to the dignity of the people of Africa on the African continent and in the diaspora. Our primary interest is in the prosperity of our people. Our reach is far and wide. We are working towards an Africa whose leadership, resources and resilience work towards a flourishing continent and economically empowered citizens. OUR HUBS COME FIRST If it does not work for our community we won’t do it. Our community is at the heart of everything we do. The way we work, the people and organisations we interact with and the programs we design are all primarily to strengthen the communities in our innovation hubs. WE DO THE RIGHT THING We are committed to achieving our mission by always doing the right thing. We believe that by infusing professionalism, excellence, transparency and integrity into all our offerings, we ensure high quality products and services, attract the right talent and impact society with the right organisations. EVERYONE IS WELCOME We believe that great ideas can come from anywhere. We pride ourselves in being a neutral space that serves as a nexus point for all technology, innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem members like governments, development agencies, academic institutions, entrepreneurs and investors to interact directly with innovation hubs.
We believe that it is only in ensuring inclusion and diversity that we build an ecosystem that will be the foundation on which Africa develops to be the global powerhouse we want her to be. We will excel without discrimination of any kind.
