Purpose-driven DIH: Building strategies for sustainability and impact

African Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) are playing a central role in the development of digital entrepreneurship across the continent.  DIHs however face numerous capacity and knowledge gaps that limit their sustainability and impact. To help us address this challenge, AfriConEU, the first Trans-continental Networking Academy for African and European Digital Innovation Hubs in partnership with African Technology Business Network (ATBN) will host a virtual webinar on “Purpose-driven DIH – building strategies for sustainability and impact”.

The main aim of this webinar is to raise the capacities of African DIHs to build effective strategies for balancing sustainability and impact. It will help hub leaders to understand the purpose and role of DIHs and how they build processes to enable them to scale their impact.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Digital Innovation Hubs
• Purpose-driven innovation
• Human-centred design

Who should attend?

• Leaders of Digital Innovation Hubs (tech hubs, universities, incubators, accelerators)
• Ecosystem builders
• Digital skills and entrepreneurship support providers
