Practical, accessible, and free — designed around the real needs of young Africans in a digital world.
Every EDB programme is built on one principle: your potential should not be limited by your postcode. Whether you are a student, a graduate, a young entrepreneur, or someone entirely new to technology — there is a programme designed for you.
Our flagship 8-week intensive programme covers everything a young person needs to enter the digital economy — from computer fundamentals and the internet, to web design basics, spreadsheets, digital communication, and career readiness. Delivered in-person, online, and in hybrid formats. Completely free.
One-to-one and group mentorship pairing ambitious young people with technology professionals across Nigeria and the African diaspora. Mentors share career guidance, industry knowledge, networking opportunities, and real-world insights over a 3-month engagement. Mentees set goals; mentors help them reach them.
A collaborative space — physical in Eastern Nigeria, virtual across the continent — where young entrepreneurs design and build technology solutions to local challenges. Participants receive structured support, access to tools, peer collaboration, and exposure to investors and industry leaders over a 12-week build sprint.
Reaching communities that have had little to no exposure to the digital world. Our outreach teams visit schools, community centres, markets, and local organisations to deliver awareness talks, hands-on demonstrations, and introductory workshops. No experience required. Just curiosity.
We made joining as easy as possible. Four steps. No fees. No barriers.
