UM6P’s StartGate, the ‘startup incubator’, provides an optimal case study for prioritizing entrepreneurship: StartGate is committed to providing world-class infrastructure and resources to nurture its students and finds three out of four young Africans are attracted to entrepreneurship – an attraction that’s amplified by easier access to information.
StartGate describes Africa as the ‘queen of entrepreneurship’ and has implemented several focused courses, such as the innovation and entrepreneurship lab. This is a creative platform where industry and government bodies alike come together with non-profit organizations to develop their student’s ideas into realities.
By focusing on the education sector to facilitate creative development, Africa can drive change for its youth. The continent must encourage innovation and diverse thought, to empower the younger generations to develop their career. This mindset shift will unlock a plethora of growth opportunities for Africa, securing its position as a global player and a thriving hub for business and innovation.
