Two visionary Ghanaian entrepreneurs, Carl Koranteng and Ed Cyprian, are revolutionizing the future of work in Africa through their tech-enabled remote staffing firm, Bandwidth Global.
With a bold 10-year plan starting in 2024, they aim to connect one million skilled African professionals with global companies for remote jobs by 2034.
Recognizing Africa’s untapped potential, Koranteng and Cyprian founded Bandwidth Global to provide a superior and efficient workforce solution to companies worldwide.
Leveraging their unique backgrounds – Koranteng’s entrepreneurial expertise and Cyprian’s software engineering and consulting experience – they are poised to showcase African talent and challenge the continent’s role in the international job market.
To achieve this ambitious goal, Bandwidth Global will significantly expand its BG Academy training program and grassroots community initiatives across Africa.
This includes broadening the curriculum to cover emerging technologies and leadership, launching targeted initiatives to reduce the gender gap in STEM fields, and partnering with global clients and educational institutions to provide unparalleled learning opportunities.
Since its launch in 2022, Bandwidth Global has utilized AI technology to enhance the recruitment process, efficiently connecting African remote staff with companies in the US and Europe. This innovation has positioned the company as a leader in the industry, and it is well on its way to achieving its 10-year goal.
Bandwidth Global’s mission goes beyond typical remote staffing objectives, representing a concerted effort to correct the underestimation of African professionals.
According to Carl Koranteng, “As the company moves toward its 2034 target, it does so with the conviction that its goal is both achievable and crucial. The initiative stands as a beacon of hope, demonstrating the immense potential of giving African talent a global platform.”
