Who we are

The African Think Tank is a community-focused initiative for Africans and friends of Africa.

Imagine the amazing things we can achieve as a people if we had an opportunity to meet, network, and transform our thoughts and ideas into actualized initiatives.

What we stand for:

  • We believe in the power of coming together, across borders and industries, to create lasting impact. Our work fosters a sense of belonging and encourages collaboration among individuals, businesses, and organizations.

  • We champion forward-thinking solutions to the most pressing challenges facing the African diaspora. By harnessing technology, creativity, and the power of collaboration, we unlock new opportunities for growth and progress.

  • We prioritize long-term impact and sustainable solutions that not only address immediate needs but also build stronger communities for the future.

  • At the core of our work is the goal of empowering individuals and communities to take charge of their own futures. Through professional development, entrepreneurship, and economic opportunity, we help people realize their full potential.

  • We are driven by results. Every initiative, program, and partnership we undertake is designed to create meaningful, measurable change in the lives of individuals and communities we serve.
