UVU Africa and Centre for Exponential Change Announce Partnership
This new transformative alliance between UVU Africa and the Centre for Exponential Change (C4EC) will amplify their shared mission of fostering innovation, leadership and systems change across five African cities over the next five years.
Africa’s youthful population holds the potential to becoming a global workforce that will drive innovation and growth. However, to achieve this, young Africans need to be equipped with digital skills and business acceleration initiatives in high-growth sectors. UVU Africa and C4EC have plans in place to implement impactful solutions to address these challenges.
UVU Africa is excited and looking forward to working together with C4EC’s global network to build a prosperous global future.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Centre for Exponential Change at such a pivotal time. This collaboration allows us to scale our efforts in creating the environments and opportunities young Africans need to thrive in the global economy. C4EC’s global support will strengthen our ability to transform African cities into thriving hubs of innovation,” said Ian Merrington, Group CEO of UVU Africa.
C4EC is dedicated to enabling system orchestrators to drive positive impact by providing access to open practical knowledge, deep design and prototyping opportunities, paradigm-shifting grants, leadership development and mentorship.
Sanjay Purohit, CEO and Chief Curator of the Centre for Exponential Change, added: “We are excited to welcome UVU Africa as a key collaborator. Their innovative approach to addressing Africa’s economic challenges by fostering a new generation of skilled, resilient entrepreneurs aligns perfectly with C4EC’s mission to catalyse transformative societal impact at scale.
