In a groundbreaking move for Africa’s tech ecosystem, Igweh Osemeke Anthony, founder of TechstartersAfrica, has unveiled the continent’s first premium in-house tech training program. Designed to revolutionise tech education, the program provides a fully immersive, four-week learning experience where students live and study under one roof. With three daily classes—morning, afternoon, and evening—the intensive training condenses months of learning into just weeks, equipping participants with advanced technical skills and preparing them for real-world challenges. Graduates are already emerging as some of the most sought-after professionals in the industry, setting new standards in technical expertise and workplace readiness.
Building on the success of this initiative, Anthony has launched the “Tech Meets Fashion” program, a bold project that merges the worlds of technology and fashion. In collaboration with Ericamoore Brand, one of Africa’s leading fashion houses, the program trains participants to integrate technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and 3D printing into fashion design and production. This initiative aims to create a new generation of “fashionpreneurs” who combine creativity with technological innovation to redefine the fashion industry. According to Anthony, “This is not just about learning skills; it’s about empowering Africans to lead in industries traditionally dominated by others.”
Anthony’s journey to creating TechstartersAfrica is rooted in his vast experience, including his role as a founding team member of Semicolon Africa and his tenure as Marketing Manager at Lagos Continental Hotel. Drawing from these experiences, he has built a brand that is transforming both tech and fashion education in Africa. TechstartersAfrica’s structured curriculum, world-class resources, and focus on collaboration have made it a launchpad for African talent to excel globally.
Through these initiatives, Anthony is bringing his vision of a globally competitive Africa to life. TechstartersAfrica is not just a training institute; it is a movement empowering young Africans to dream big, innovate, and lead. With a focus on bridging skills gaps and fostering creativity, the program is poised to transform Africa’s tech and fashion industries and position the continent as a global hub for talent and innovation.
