“We need to think of Africa not only as a consumer of technology but also creators of it,” Dr Lawrence Nderu, JHUB Africa founder
A collaborative project between different institutions and individual experts, JHUB Africa looks into the future through the lens of innovations as businesses. Africa faces challenges with unemployment, food insecurity, unreliable healthcare and poverty, while ironically having some of the best innovators in the world. Nurturing innovations from the grassroots to industry solutions locally and internationally is the goal of JHUB Africa. In the founder’s own words, Dr. Lawrence Nderu, we need to think of Africa not only as a consumer of technology but also creators of it. This is truly achievable, with the right support and channels.
In the face of climate change, it doesn’t matter where you’re from, but what you can offer to address a problem. JHUB Africa is open to collaborations, both with individuals and organisations, whether innovators or seekers of solutions, to enhance transformation and rewards from the technologies we create. Let’s make research, creativity and problems push us to the implementation of sustainable technological solutions. This is truly possible!
