Our Goal

To accelerate students ability to solve Africa’s grand challenges and capture its greatest opportunities by gaining hands-on experience with technology companies in Silicon Valley and learning from the region’s spirit of innovation and disruption.

Global Leadership Program

Silicon Valley leaders will pose critical questions each week related to how technology is impacting the Future of Education, Affordable Health, Food Security, as well as Government and Politics. Students will hear from experts from industry and academia to bring these issues to light and will tour companies to see first hand how innovation is nurtured. Students will also have the opportunity to explore multiple dimensions of leadership and emerge with a deeper understanding of their own leadership potential.

Program Overview

20 ALU students hailing from 11 African countries will live on the campus of Stanford University and attend sessions at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Students will participate in lectures, workshops, fireside chats, company visits, cultural events, an industry mentor program and Stanford buddy program.
