to nurture a new, diverse generation of skilled microchip designers!
In a world increasingly shaped by AI and IoT, Chiplab emerged from a critical need – bridging the talent gap in the semiconductor industry, and unlocking Africa’s youthful potential. Inspired by conversations with industry leaders seeking to diversify their workforce, including the inclusion of more women and diverse talent, Chiplab was born.
Find out how we are addressing the semiconductor workforce problem.
At Chiplab, we firmly believe that the potential of a nation is mirrored in its people. Our mission, therefore, is anchored in this powerful principle.
Our aim is to cultivate and harness African talent to create cutting-edge intelligent systems, thereby empowering African nations to become indispensable contributors to global technology needs. Our mission is driven by three pillars:
Through these efforts, we seek not just to be a part of the global semiconductor industry, but to redefine it by bringing African talent to the forefront.
Nigeria, with 60% of its workforce aged 18-45, brims with untapped potential. Yet, rising unemployment is driving many to seek opportunities abroad, leaving a skill gap behind. While the global semiconductor industry often relies on nations like the U.S., Taiwan, China, and increasingly, India, Deloitte forecasts job openings for up to 2 million in this sector within a decade. As AI use intensifies, the demand for microchips rises. Embracing Nigeria's youth offers a unique chance to bridge this talent gap and spark significant economic growth.
