    The Digital University for Entrepreneurs: What the World Can Learn from The Tony Elumelu Foundation’s TEFConnect 

    Entrepreneurship has become the defining skill of the 21st century, but access to knowledge, capital, and networks is still distributed unevenly.   In emerging markets especially, the difference between an idea that thrives and one that fades often comes down to access: who you know, what you have been taught, and whether you can secure that …

    What the World Can Learn from Africa’s Relentless Entrepreneurial Spirit

    It is often said that adversity breeds innovation; nowhere is this truer than in Africa. Across the continent, young people refuse to wait for perfect conditions.
