“To transform brain-drain into brain-gain, universities must adopt an entrepreneurial mindset and align research with industry needs. Graduates should be workforce-ready, equipped with both technical and problem-solving skills. Academia must speak the language of industry, ensuring knowledge transfer fuels innovation and economic growth. Regulators must be flexible, allowing universities to adapt to market demands. By bridging research and industry, Africa can retain talent, drive innovation, and build a thriving knowledge economy.” @The_One_William Director of the Center for Inclusive Digital Transformation of Africa, CMU-Africa #FutureOfWork #IndustryDrivenResearch #EntrepreneurialMindset
