About Us

Our mission at Switch Future CIC is to create a new paradigm for the African and African diaspora worldwide. We intend to inspire, motivate, encourage and raise awareness of the limitless opportunities we can access to create a future that we envision with no boundaries. We intend on accelerating the process to obtain the necessary skills required to be a success within these industries.

Our focus is predominantly within the S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) industries but the Maths for us is aimed at Finances and Entrepreneurship. We’ll be focused on sustainable and innovative ideas. As well as their being a strong emphasis on the mind we’ll also be promoting a health & well-being aspect.

We’ll tailor our content to be culturally specific to our demographic to retain interest and stimulate our brainwaves.

Our Vision

At Switch Future we envision a reality where any African globally will have the capability to bring any idea to life.

We aim to do this via these 3 steps

Provide access to gain the necessary knowledge and skill set required for your idea.
Signposting you to the relevant networks and events to meet the individuals or organisations that can assist with your idea.
Present the opportunities to generate the capital and resources required to develop your idea even from as early as a concept.

“Tomorrow’s reality is today’s vision. Let’s make history!”
