Apodissi Contributes to Pioneering DIGILOGIC Project on Africa–Europe Transnational Entrepreneurship Education

Apodissi is proud to have played a leading role in the DIGILOGIC project—an ambitious Africa–Europe initiative funded by the European Commission (Grant Agreement No. 101016583)—which has just culminated in the publication of a major research paper in Discover Education (2025). Titled “Expanding Engagement: Africa–Europe Transnational Education Programmes Across the Entrepreneurial Lifecycle,” the paper captures the project’s transformative model for inclusive and practice-oriented entrepreneurship education across the continent.

DIGILOGIC: Bridging Innovation Between Continents

DIGILOGIC set out to support inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship across Africa by co-developing educational programmes that span the entire entrepreneurial lifecycle: capacity building, co-creation labs, startup mentoring, and company workshops. Over 300 participants from countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Zambia, and South Africa benefited from this model, gaining the skills and support needed to ideate, launch, and scale businesses with social and economic impact.

Apodissi’s Strategic Role

As the Nigeria-based technology transfer partner in the consortium, Apodissi significantly contributed to:

  • Delivering hybrid-format capacity building programmes for unemployed youth in Nigeria and beyond, focusing on entrepreneurial and digital skills;
  • Supporting startup mentoring by facilitating technological knowledge transfer and addressing startup-specific challenges;
  • Co-designing and facilitating online company workshops that tackled operational and technical issues faced by African SMEs;
  • Actively participating in the development and authorship of the research paper, drawing from on-the-ground experiences in Nigeria and across Africa.

Promoting Inclusive, Real-World Learning

DIGILOGIC demonstrated that entrepreneurship education can be effective and far-reaching when it is rooted in local ecosystems and supported by international collaboration. Apodissi’s involvement ensured that the programmes were not only technically sound but also culturally and contextually relevant—overcoming infrastructure limitations and driving meaningful impact.

A Milestone Publication

The resulting research paper is a testament to the value of coordinated action research and the potential of transnational partnerships in shaping sustainable development through education. It advances both policy and practice on how innovation ecosystems can empower underrepresented communities and build entrepreneurial capacity across Africa.
