Our Purpose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

NextAfrica connects purpose-driven organizations and individuals from Europe and Africa to create cross-boarder business opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This African-European initiative, comprising Ecotec (A), Identifire (A), and LivingLab (Ken), promotes collaborative learning, joint development, and innovative business models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s time to forge new paths in business. Given the frequent lack of innovation culture in Austria, our Learning Journeys bridge the gap to the digital continent, Africa. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We find ourselves in a globally interconnected society that is ending the dominance of the Western world. While Europe grapples with the consequences, most African countries are experiencing an upswing. They are becoming part of global economic networks and transitioning from agrarian to digital socities. The growing African middle class is setting new standards for education and business \u2013 with a strong entrepreneurial spirit, self-confidence, and sustainability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, it’s about time to rethink the collaboration between Africa and Europe. Only by doing so can we address the challenges both continents face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizations from both continents can learn from their differences: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
