Institution
Think.iT is on a mission to activate the largest market of untapped brilliance and empower extraordinary minds to shape the future of technology. We live in an emerging world where mind power and human capability are the driving forces of the planet, yet one of the greatest source of these forces, the African continent, has largely remained unconsidered.
The newly evolving human cloud has the potential to profoundly change the nature of work, and we are at the forefront of this seismic shift. That’s why we direct our attention, resources and passion to hubs of brilliance, in order to upscale an entire generation of extraordinarily bright minds.
Think.iT is enabling disadvantaged North African computer science graduates to unleash their potential and become leading technologists. Through an immersive boot camp, we prepare them to thrive on agile distributed teams and succeed in tomorrow’s global labour market, before we connect them with leading tech companies around the world.
