FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
We Are Innovation Expands the Network to Africa by Welcoming the Ghana Institute for Liberty and Policy Innovation Onboard
Tema, Ghana (January 25, 2024) — We Are Innovation, a global network dedicated to fostering innovations and driving progress, proudly announces its expansion into Africa through a partnership with the Ghana-based Institute for Liberty and Policy Innovation (ILAPI). This groundbreaking collaboration marks We Are Innovation’s first footprint on the African continent and sets the stage for future partnerships and collective efforts to advance innovation and catalyze sustainable development in Africa and beyond.
ILAPI is renowned for its commitment to challenging conventional wisdom, pushing boundaries, and fostering a culture of innovation. By encouraging constructive debates and nurturing a diverse network of scholars, thought leaders, and change-makers, ILAPI sparks the innovative spirit needed to tackle complex societal challenges. The institute’s dedication to innovation causes was recognized by a win in the 2017 maiden Africa Think Tank Shark Tank in South Africa and a nomination for the 2018 Africa Think Tank Shark Tank in Kenya.
Peter Bismark, the CEO of ILAPI, captures the essence of this partnership by stating, “A partnership with WAI means we are not alone in ensuring prosperity in Ghana and beyond, driven by innovations to improve human dignity. This is an excellent milestone for ILAPI to join a network of great thinkers and practical doers to shape the climate of ideas for human flourishing. We know the importance of partnerships, but with WAI, it is an honor to learn and collaborate to build a future where everyone has the freedom to use their mental faculties to create for themselves endless opportunities. This is the time to deepen the conversation about inclusive innovation, technological advancement, removal of barriers to free trade, and embracing economic freedom for Africa’s prosperity. We are thrilled about this as we journey to enhance (positive) social and economic changes with measurable impact.”
Federico N. Fernández, the CEO of We Are Innovation, also shares his excitement about this collaboration, “We Are Innovation is thrilled to welcome ILAPI to our network. We share a common vision of empowering individuals, organizations, and communities to be at the forefront of innovation and harness its immense potential. With the addition of ILAPI, we are confident in our collective ability to drive meaningful progress and inspire positive change in Africa and worldwide.”
We Are Innovation serves as a catalyst for nurturing and amplifying innovative ideas, providing a platform where diverse minds can come together to share insights, collaborate, and collectively shape the future. ILAPI, with its extensive experience in challenging traditional paradigms and advocating for innovative policy solutions, will bring a fresh perspective and invaluable insights to the network. Thus, this partnership will reinforce the network’s commitment to promoting innovation and signify a steadfast dedication to inclusive growth and sustainable development, as inspired by ILAPI’s vision.
