Six of Africa’s top business schools have forged a new association through which they will share resources and expertise, promote academic and student exchanges and conduct research aimed at boosting entrepreneurship, job creation and economic development on the continent.
The African Academic Association on Entrepreneurship (AAAE) said in a statement that it would develop cooperation – “particularly in the areas of entrepreneurship, small business development, innovation and start-ups” – through research, case studies, exchanges and academic materials and publications, professional internships and technical cooperation.
