#HAQQNetwork Partners with Mara Foundation to strengthen their presence in Africa, joining forces to reduce inequalities and stimulate the development of the African continent using blockchain technology. Collaborating with partners like Circle, Mara Foundation is forming a coalition of thought leaders to transform Africa's social, economic, and environmental future.
As part of the partnership, plans are underway to establish up to 10 Innovation Labs in Nigeria, focusing on localized training and educational programs in entrepreneurship, youth employability, and advanced digital technologies. This aligns with regional initiatives like 3MTT, which aims to develop technical talent.
The Innovation Labs aim to:
1. Educate the community on key financial topics and technology to empower the next generation to build blockchain solutions.
2. Provide young people with skills and technical equipment to develop solutions they wouldn't otherwise have access to.
Islamic Coin contributes to the initiative by donating 8 million ISLM tokens and providing technical expertise for collaboration in establishing and operating the Innovation Labs.
Mara Foundation will coordinate the creation and operation of the Innovation Labs, identifying qualified incubation/acceleration partners and geographic locations. They will also manage educational content and handle financial, administrative, and operational aspects.
HAQQ emphasizes its genuine interest in Africa through this partnership, supported by a commitment to nurture talent in the region. Establishing a $40 million Ecosystem Fund and initiatives like HaqqPad and Haqq Labs demonstrates their dedication to uplifting early-stage Web3 projects across various sectors.
This strategic relationship with Mara marks the initial step in expanding their work in Africa. HAQQ aims not only to leave digital footprints but also to have a tangible presence through initiatives such as hackathons, fostering innovation, and supporting local talent. #crypto2024 #CryptoInvesting
