Project Title: The Bridge Project
About the Project: The Bridge Project aims to connect the ‘research economy’ and the ‘market economy’ (industry stakeholders), through multi-stakeholder collaborations that can support the translation of the high volume of entrepreneurship activities on the continent into sustainable job creation. By building a bridge between the 'research economy' (African Universities that can provide validated management knowledge) and the 'market economy (investors and the tech hubs who can provide market support), through a multi-stakeholder collaboration such as this consortium, the high volume of entrepreneurship activities on the continent will benefit from the right level of skills, knowledge and better functioning ecosystem that can catalyse change and drive economic growth.
