The Web Foundation is establishing its first mobile training lab for entrepreneurs. Vodafone is providing the Web Foundation with $1 million over 3 years to pilot mobile training laboratories in Africa, with the aim of helping  individual entrepreneurs to learn relevant technology and business skills to start new mobile services.

The first laboratory was launched in Ghana at the beginning of 2011. Our objective is to create dynamic mobile Web and voice ecosystems that will enable entrepreneurs to launch their own sustainable businesses, as well as enable all segments of the population to have access to new and innovative services that are useful and usable.
