About Us
Sulwe Labs is a research and advisory lab closing the tech literacy gap in Africa through accessible and creative research, educational projects and media. As exponential technologies such as Artificial Intelligence to Quantum Technology, disrupt the world as we know it, Africans are being left behind on the frontier of innovation. As a response, we make complex technologies understandable, context-driven and accessible for Africans.
Empowering Africans to boldly take on the Exponential Age
Sulwe Labs exists to educate and empower a generation of Africans who understand, engage with and shape exponential technologies for their own advancement and collective future. We envision a world where Africans are not only educated on the intricacies of exponential technologies but are empowered enough to use them, challenge them and advocate for their technological rights, on equal footing with the rest of the world.
