Our Mission
Ascent Innovation Lab is a digital upskilling platform leveraging frontier technologies like Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence to empower young professionals & gap-year students with digital skills.
We aim to bridge the digital divide and prepare the next generation of leaders for the future of work.
The Challenge We Address
Across Africa, a significant gap in quality education is jeopardizing the future of our next generation of leaders. This challenge is further amplified by a stark digital divide, with over 200 million youth aged 15-24 lacking access to essential digital tools.
As a result, students and recent graduates enter the job market ill-equipped to compete on a global scale, particularly when compared to their counterparts in the Global North.
At Ascent Labs, we believe that AI & Virtual Reality have the potential to bridge this divide faster than any previous technology, positioning us uniquely to drive exponential impact.
