Also commenting on the launch of the TAAS Business Institute, Mrs. Just Omomo Ibe, Founder and President of The Association of African Startups, said:
“We are finally pleased to launch the Association of African Startups Business Institute. This is a huge feat for us to bring to life a one-of-a-kind virtual training institute relevant to the regions of Africa and the Diaspora. The goal is to train and equip 10,000 entrepreneurs across the 5 regions. The Association of African Startups Business Institute was designed for each of these entrepreneurs to have access to 12 weeks of intensive learning and development sessions. Over the years, there has been a growing gap in which entrepreneurs lack the requisite skills and resources needed to grow their businesses.”
Mrs. Just expressed her belief in the need to bridge the gap in entrepreneurs’ skills and knowledge levels. She also stated that doing this would significantly improve the ease of doing business.
The Business Institute is set to equip and empower entrepreneurs with resources to compete in their market and globally. The institute’s mission is to also create a pool of entrepreneurs whose businesses will stand and surpass the 5 years mark of entrepreneurs within the continent. It also aims to reach 10,000 entrepreneurs across the 5 regions.
