AfriLabs is excited to partner with Honoris United Universities for the 2021 AfriLabs Annual Gathering as we seek to involve the academia in raising the next generation of entrepreneurs to expand the growth of innovation on the continent.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Honoris is invested in reshaping the delivery of education to improve the standard of living of Africans with a focus on entrepreneurship, partnerships, skills development, 21st-century learning environments, and women entrepreneurship. Part of their commitment is to transform the African continent by empowering the next generation of agile leaders with entrepreneurial mindsets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The partnership with AfriLabs, the largest pan-African network of technology and innovation hubs with over 300 members across 50 African countries, is to conduct joint activities that serve the missions of both organizations with a view to collaborating on new and existing programmes across the continent. This includes the AfriLabs Annual Gathering, a unique opportunity for stakeholders in the African tech ecosystem to convene, network, share knowledge around a common theme and build partnerships. Honoris hubs are welcomed into the pan-African AfriLabs network, giving access to joint learning, events, collaboration, and cultural\/knowledge exchange. This includes most recently the Collective Lab in Tunisia, as well as future additions of Nile\u2019s Start-up 2.0 in Nigeria and Regent\u2019s Red-Hub in South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, Nile University, a member institution of the Honoris network has been selected as one of the venues for the ecosystem tour and activities on day 3 of the 2021 AfriLabs Annual Gathering. The day will be characterized by a tour of Nile University facilities plus a session to formally announce the partnership which will also feature an engaging panel discussion themed Innovative Entrepreneurship and Employability, involving faculty, alumna, entrepreneurs, and key employability partners such as the Tony Elumelu Foundation and PwC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
