**ABOUT US**

In 2035, Africa will have the largest workforce in the world and will need to catalyse transformation by empowering its largest untapped resource - its people. Fuelled by this, the African Leadership Group is an ecosystem of institutions with a shared vision to harness Africa's abundant human capital and transform the continent and the world by selecting, developing, and connecting 2 million by 2030. ALG was founded over 15 years ago by Fred Swaniker, a serial entrepreneur recognised by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people of 2019 and his partners. ALX and The Room are two brands of the African Leadership Group.

**ALX is our training platform**, a Pan-African leadership movement for high potential and high impact leaders that enables them to take on Africa's greatest challenges and most exciting opportunities. It is increasing focusing on developing skills for the fourth industrial revolution (software engineering, data science, UX design etc) to ensure that Africa is able to compete effectively as the world undergoes a digital transformation. In a bid to cement our place in the revolution, African Leadership International (ALI) has signed an agreement to acquire Silicon Valley based Holberton Inc. - a Silicon Valley-founded, project-based, college alternative educating the next generation of software engineers. This will give us ownership of the advanced technology program that will enable us to provide global organizations access to significant untapped pools of talent that can bridge the growing global shortage of technology talent. To read more on Africa's entrance into Silicon Valley, please read this article here and here.

**The Room is a** **community** that enables our young talent to access a lifetime of extraordinary opportunities and meaningful relationships. To learn more about us, please read this article about why we launched The Room & this article about the impact of our development programs in African youth.
