Ambitious.Africa

Ambitious Africa is an initiative bringing African and Nordic youth together to take Africa to the next level. Working together providing high-quality education for future African educators and top-level business development support for local entrepreneurs. Ambitious Africa is an initiative, primarily consisting of Nordic student-lead entrepreneurial societies. The initiative is growing rapidly and now the organization needs ambitious Nordic students to work in the national operations in collaboration with local African counterparts. This is a unique opportunity to learn by doing while being supported by a community of young doers, experienced entrepreneurs, the private sector, and government entities. The national teams are cross-continental, primarily consisting of two people from the Nordics and two people from the African nation in question. The primary responsibility of the National Teams is to build an infrastructure to enable young doers to do novel entrepreneurial initiatives in the country in question. National Teams have free hands to build up the operations as they see fit based on the challenges and opportunities of the nation. We are currently looking for people for all 54 African nations starting with Rwanda, Tunisia, Mozambique, Uganda, Gambia, and Ghana. However, if you have contacts or experiences from other countries go for it, join the national team for that country.

“Ambitious Africa is off to a very good start. It's great to see the young entrepreneurs from Africa and Nordics working so closely together to make change happen. And with the tremendous support they are getting from the African and Nordic governments, there's no doubt in my mind, the impact of Ambitious Africa will be massive across all of Africa and all of Europe. ”
