In some of our African languages, LIFT (verb) is synonymous to development, compassion and support. INSEARCH is a team of people on a mission, and a progressive futuristic and optimistic culture is just what we look like on the inside.
Our mission, culture and motivation are driven by our LIFT values. LIFT stands for Leverage Innovation For Transformation. We align our projects and activities with our values to LIFT Africa by sourcing and donating/offering key hands-on research equipment for African universities, as well as partaking and consulting in curriculum adjustments for the new technological and new machine age.
Africa is vast! Building core laboratories and core research centres will serve as harbingers for sustained technology-driven development. Core centres are platforms from which technologies could be modelled on local realities and deployed all across Africa. Moreover, core centres would serve as delocalized advanced units for training aspiring scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs from across borders.
The future of Africa would not happen on its own. And it will not happen with the present kind of training on the continent. If so, it would have happened in the past and this present. We have to act to build value, peace and prosperity in the future. And we will act by copy and adopting universal technologies to using local models. In the longterm, such ecosystems will become incubators for innovative low-hanging fruit ventures that will change the narrative.
