LIVE THE FUTURE

Raising The Largest Community of Tech Leaders from Africa

The Road to Impacting 1 Million+ Young Africans with Tech Lead Skills

Capacity Building, Advocacy, Research, and Events…

Black Tech Lead is a leading organization dedicated to empowering young African talent. Our core focus is on delivering comprehensive capacity-building programs, innovative events, and impactful policy advocacy. Our journey began in November 2023 with the launch of our founder’s book, “Tech Hustle.” The book’s central message, encapsulated in the speech “Time to Tech Lead in Africa,” started our movement. After hosting monthly events since April 2024, we officially registered as an organization in June of that year. Within months, we’ve impacted nearly 900 young Africans and garnered three prestigious awards and fellowships. Our goal is to empower over one million young Africans. By providing access to digital skills and leadership development, we aim to create a generation of tech-savvy innovators who will drive Africa’s progress.

Our 2-Pronged Approach to Raising Global Tech Leaders

We use a two-pronged approach.

Building Strong Leaders: We offer a mix of impactful programs, including Conferences and cohort-based leadership development program for young individuals. In between these main events, we reach out to schools, youth groups, and churches, offering high-impact crash courses on leadership, career development, and entrepreneurship.

Bridging the Digital Skills Gap: We recognize the importance of both leadership and technical skills. While 40% of our content focuses on leadership development, we dedicate the remaining 60% to training in in-demand digital skills like artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, cybersecurity, cloud computing, system analysis, product management, project management, data science, UI/UX design, digital marketing, and software development. Our technical skills capacity-building initiatives are strongly recommended on partnerships and collaborations with high-end tech companies and institutions.

All our activities are based solely on our Tech Lead Model, a revolutionary training model we invented for tech professionals. The Tech Lead model is a hybrid and process-orientated model. We understand it can help professionals to continuously upskill and become globally competitive. Our Theory of Change says that “When Young Innovators Tech-Lead, Africa Wins on the Global Market.”
