Africa has a significant youthful, educated, and industrious population keen to set up businesses or seek employment in such thriving ventures. As such, entrepreneurial support, including educational programs, mentorship, incubation and innovation hubs, and research, among others, are critical in harnessing these opportunities.

Columbia Business School, in partnership with Columbia Global Centers | Nairobi and Columbia Global Centers | Tunis, launched the Entrepreneurship and Competitiveness in Africa Program (EC-Africa program) to equip entrepreneurs from mid-sized African companies with the skills, tools, and network to professionalize and grow their businesses in today’s global environment.

This eleven-month program at Columbia Business School features:

• Rigorous online classes with Columbia professors
• A self-selected company project guided by faculty and assisted by MBA student consultants
• A Columbia Certificate of Business Excellence
• One week at the Africa Business School campus in Rabat, Morocco
• A final week in New York at the Columbia campus with professors and advisors
• Enrollment in the Columbia Business School worldwide alumni network.
