BRICS Partnership: Through BRICS collaboration, we’ve contributed to knowledge exchange on technology adoption, workforce development, and innovation ecosystems across emerging economies.
Global Entrepreneurship Summit 2018: Our presence at GES 2018 connected our incubated entrepreneurs with global investors, mentors, and ecosystem builders, while allowing us to share learnings on digital literacy as a foundation for entrepreneurial success.
Our programs reach across sectors and communities:
Curriculum development, faculty training, student entrepreneurship programs, and research partnerships
Workforce upskilling, digital transformation strategy, AI adoption programs, and leadership development
Incubation support, technical mentorship, business model development, and access to funding ecosystems
Digital inclusion initiatives, community digital literacy programs, and grassroots technology access projects
Our work in Asia focuses on enabling workforce transformation in rapidly digitizing economies. We've partnered with academic institutions, startups, and enterprises from India's tech hubs to Southeast Asia's emerging markets—helping shape a generation of digitally empowered professionals.
In North America, we address the skills gap in established industries undergoing digital transformation. Our programs serve both urban innovation centers and communities facing digital exclusion, working with corporations, universities, and community organizations.
Our South Africa presence emphasizes inclusive digital transformation. We partner with organizations focused on youth employment, entrepreneurship, and technology access in underserved communities—contributing to a more equitable digital future.
Our Incubated ventures have launched products, secured seed funding, expanded to new markets, and created employment. More importantly, they’re solving real problems—from agricultural technology to healthcare access—using AI and digital tools.
Our University partnerships have resulted in new courses, research collaborations, and student projects that bridge classroom learning with industry needs. Graduates enter the workforce better prepared and more confident.
Every program we deliver, every partnership we forge, and every individual we equip contributes to a more digitally inclusive and human-centered future.
