The Youth Innovation Hub is the vision of Duel Core Technologies and the MODI Foundation 
an enabling space to increase youth competency through skills development with the use 
of technology and creativity for especially less 
priviledged youth from rural areas that lack 
the basics of computer literacy. . The primary 
objective is to ensure youth development for 
the boy and girl child on empowerment, to 
enhance skills development, social development, economic development and educational 
development.
 
We conduct research and data collection on 
pressing national issues and current practices.
Employ innovative methods of mentoring and 
guiding youth to drive youth capacity 
development.
We create sustainable policy in line with the 
government 
constitution and changes by
 carrying out high-level and grassroots advocacy work that will yield impact within a short 
period of time and facilitates active youth 
participation in global agendas and.
encourages collaboration, serves as a springboard for new ideas and helps innovators 
pursue creative solutions.
Density and proximity are 
critical in our innovation 
hub. Multiple sectors and 
captains of industries 
are represented, enabling opportunities for 
the right people to rub 
elbows and advance new 
ideas through differing 
strengths and specialties. 
Such engagement occurs 
amongst and between 
the inhouse ICT research 
labs, co-working spaces 
and recreation activities 
within often repurposed 
buildings that have been 
revived for a new purpose (and with high-speed 
bandwidth!). At least one 
anchor institution grounds 
research efforts and 
supplies startups and established companies with 
a pipeline of fresh talent 
and young professionals.
We considered certain physical, economic and financial assets that must exist to 
support an innovation hub. When these 
assets are established, other systematic 
measures can help the innovation ecosystem grow and prosper:
Initiate programming and services that 
help people develop new skills, learn 
from and support each other, make 
connections, network and gain a sense 
of community.
Create a motivating work 
environment to attract skilled talent and 
inspire people to reach the next level, no 
matter their industry.
Facilitate research commercialization so 
that new products hit the market for the 
benefit of the 
public community.
Prioritize diversity efforts to protect all 
our members and give all voices and 
perspectives a seat at the table
