Who We Are

Yabs Network is a dynamic platform committed to bridging the gap between Africa’s growing workforce and economic opportunity. Founded in 2017 by and for the African diaspora in Europe, we mobilize expertise, investment, and mentorship to foster sustainable job creation and economic empowerment across the continent.

Our Mission

We create lasting economic opportunities in Africa by leveraging the power of the diaspora. Through strategic connections with mentors, investors, and institutions, we drive innovation, support entrepreneurship, and reduce the need for economic migration.

Why We Exist

Africa faces an urgent employment challenge, with over 20 million new jobs needed each year. Yet, limited opportunities push many young people to migrate in search of work. Yabs Network addresses this by focusing on job creation, entrepreneurship, and diaspora-driven solutions.

Our Vision

We envision a thriving Africa where opportunity is accessible, innovation thrives, and youth can build a future at home. By activating the diaspora and global partners, we aim to reshape economic development for generations to come.

What We Do

Our Four Pillars

• Knowledge & Mentorship – Supporting African startups with diaspora expertise and advisory support.

• Entrepreneur Support – Helping entrepreneurs access funding and navigate local business environments.

• Policy & Advocacy – Engaging EU stakeholders to prioritize job creation in Africa.

• Partnerships & Technology – Facilitating skills training, investment, and innovation through institutional collaboration.
