AstroLabs was founded in 2013 to fast-track the development of the region’s technology ecosystem.

What do we believe?

• The region has to transition to a digital/tech economy and this will create millions of jobs for younger talent and require significant and continuous upskilling and reskilling of the whole workforce
• Large regional corporations, retail groups, and family businesses are on a long-term transformation and digital transformation journey and need to upskill and reskill their teams
• We have the DNA and the network to teach a large number of people tech and digital skills in a highly practical, regionally specific way
• The region is a great market that will attract global tech ventures just as it attracted the previous generations of companies.
• There will be many large, successful ventures coming out from the region.

Supporting and accelerating all the above will lead to a thriving and sustainable tech ecosystem throughout the region.
