Powering talents and startups of the future
Africa’s youth between the ages of 15 and 24 years constitute over thirty percent of its total population, amounting to over 200 million talents. With the Covid-19 pandemic and geopolitical crisis wiping out decades of sustainable inclusive economic progress, African nations are increasingly challenged in their efforts to guarantee universal high-quality education, access to decent jobs, and youth entrepreneurship. Our philosophy at LOWASE is that, “no nation rises above the quality of its think tank and value of its human capital assets”. New skills with talents and value creation by startups is the key to open doors required for better working industries and economies.
VISION STATEMENT
A better working nation powered by startup growth and talent security.
MISSION STATEMENT
Accelerating inclusive opportunities for young talents and startups companies to transform our economies at scale.
“A better working nation for everyone, starts with you and me as changemakers. Our next generations count on us today, for a great sustainable future.”
