The Hub for Digital Excellence and India Blockchain Alliance Join Forces to Empower Africa’s Digital Future
The Hub for Digital Excellence is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with the India Blockchain Alliance (IBA). This collaboration is set to revolutionize digital education, training, and talent development across Africa, with a focus on emerging technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence.
A Visionary Partnership
IBA, established in 2018, is a leader in promoting blockchain technology in India. As the most influential organization in the field, IBA unites industry experts, policymakers, and innovators to drive blockchain adoption and create a thriving global ecosystem. With this new partnership, IBA is extending its expertise to Africa, where it will collaborate with the Hub for Digital Excellence to provide top-tier education and training in emerging technologies.
This collaboration underscores the commitment of the Hub for Digital Excellence to advancing Digital Policy Advocacy, Education, Research, and Talent Development across Africa. The partnership is a crucial step toward bridging the digital skills gap on the continent, with a particular focus on hands-on learning. Students will be empowered to translate theoretical knowledge into practical applications, making them job-ready in key sectors such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies.
Creating Pathways for Africa’s Youth
The Hub for Digital Excellence’s Center for Learning and Development will play a pivotal role in this initiative. The center’s forward-thinking curriculum is designed to meet the dynamic needs of modern industries, with a focus on preparing students for real-world challenges. In partnership with IBA, the center will provide specialized courses, job placement opportunities, and continuous upskilling to ensure students remain competitive in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
A core aspect of this initiative is accessibility—offering flexible, affordable programs to reach underserved communities across Africa. The Hub and IBA are committed to making sure that every student, regardless of their background, has access to the resources they need to drive positive change in their communities and the larger African economy.
