Founded with a commitment to excellence, we have grown to become a trusted partner for businesses and individuals. The African Hope Foundation Efforts to bring high-tech jobs or knowledge-based businesses culminated into the creation of the African Hope (AH). This organization is founded by the groupe members, to help create, grow and attract high-wage jobs and knowledge-based businesses. The African Hope Vision is for african Countries to become the economic hub of the most creative, innovative and progressive region in Africa, with continually increasing opportunity and prosperity. What is the most effective long-term approach for achieving such a vision? From an economic development perspective, it is to help create, grow and attract higher-than-average-wage jobs and knowledge-based businesses (KBBs), furthering the development of a creative and innovation-based economy. AH is poised to emerge from this recession on the right side of the new economy and AH will try its best to make sure that happens. To that end, AH is a focused, collaborative partner in community economic development, working with many state and local agencies and organizations, though none more closely than the African Hope Economic Development Authority (AHEDA). Aside from attraction efforts, AH dedicates the majority of our time to the community, working with established businesses, entrepreneurs, economic development partners, colleges and universities. AH hosts networking events with strategic business goals or industry focus in addition to offering a variety of business education and professional development programs. AH works closely with Partners, among others, to identify new funding sources for companies seeking capital. AH meets regularly, one-on-one, with local and entrepreneurs to offer information, ideas and resources. Last but not least, AH will manage a website being registered users and local business owners, and a blog that generates relevant discussion and awareness of related business issues. AH will also run a successful jobs and resume board, connecting talent to jobs and jobs to talent.
