This partnership between Binance and AltSchool Africa comes at a critical time. According to the International Finance Corporation [2] (IFC), by 2030, 230 million jobs in Sub-Saharan Africa will require digital skills, yet only 2% of the workforce currently possesses them. By offering these scholarships, Binance and AltSchool Africa aim to close this gap and equip young Africans with the expertise needed for the future digital economy .

"Through this partnership with AltSchool Africa, we are excited to provide opportunities that will help shape the future of many young students across the continent," said Samantha Fuller, Spokeswoman for Binance. "Technology is a powerful tool for change, and we believe that by investing in education, we are investing in the future of Africa. Our goal is to empower students to become innovators and leaders in the tech space."

Binance's scholarship initiative forms part of its broader commitment to supporting educational programs across Africa, helping young people gain the skills necessary to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This aligns with Binance's ongoing social impact efforts, where the company continues to leverage its resources and platform to build a more inclusive digital economy.

AltSchool Africa, an education platform tailored to developing digital skills across Africa, is proud to collaborate with Binance on this initiative. “With this partnership, we are able to reach more young Africans passionate about building a career in the digital economy, offering them a variety of our diploma programs and short courses," said Nifemi Akinwamide, Head of Global Operations, AltSchool Africa. ”We laud Binance for this incredible initiative which will positively impact the lives of hundreds of Africans across the continent.”

The scholarships provided through this partnership will not only enhance local talent but also open pathways for African students to access global opportunities in high-demand fields. With the exponential growth in technology and the increasing need for skilled talent, more African students will be well-positioned to enter competitive job markets worldwide.
