World of Entrepreneurship & Innovation

“By the end of 2015, more than 50% of humans will have access to the internet, up from 36% in 2013. This 50% tipping point marks the beginning of The Innovation Age.”

Humans have made great advances since 1800 as we’ve come through the Industrial Age to the Information Age—enabling the human population to grow from 1 billion to 7.2 billion in just two centuries.

The Information Age, which began with the advent of microcomputers in 1970 and ended with the start of the Innovation Age in 2015, has brought with it the greatest forty-five years in the history of human progress. These include:

– More than 50% of humans have access to the cloud

– Substantial increases in life expectancy

– Increase in per capita income

– Increase in literacy

– Decrease in infant mortality

– Decrease in the number of people living in poverty around the world.

Now, as we enter the Innovation Age (2015-2050), this present generation of scholars should stand on the shoulders of giants (creators and inventors) who have come before us.

Today, Synthetic Biology is here. Clean renewable energy is here. Global connection is here. The platforms have been built. We now live in the most exciting time in human history for creators and innovators.

This is a great opportunity for today’s young scholars, most especially in the black race), who are the potential future leaders, to start building on the existing structures through creative and innovative ideas. This, we intend to achieve in the Afro Scholars International World of Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

The twenty-first century has been tagged the “entrepreneurial age”. This is because nations are being shaped by entrepreneurs, men, and women who have taken their destinies into their own hands by risking their resources (time, money, and energy) in establishing and running their businesses.

The world over, from the USA to Asia, the United Kingdom to Africa, and Australia to Latin America, entrepreneurship has been promoted as an effective means of stimulating economic growth through the generation of greater employment opportunities, the development of local technological base, and source of foreign exchange earnings.

* Facebook started in a dorm room from nothing.

* Apple began in a garage with some spare computer parts.
