Pleasure to have the @emtvalencia bus with us. What a gift!
It will go a long way to strengthen YSMA's commitment of ensuring access to art and cultural education to our local, surrounding communities in Ibeju-Lekki and beyond.
Thank you @AjuntamentVLC 🤝
🚍 L'autobús de l'@emtvalencia que veus en la imatge no es jubila.
Comença una nova ruta a Nigèria.
Allí es convertirà en un museu itinerant per a acostar la cultura a les comunitats rurals.
Una altra destinació, mateix esperit de servici.

Congratulations to @vp_fund 🎉. Its been an amazing decade of powering the start-up ecosystem across Africa, and what a pleasant way to mark it through an initiative that combines art, innovation and entrepreneurship to shape the future.
YSMA is proud to be part of this story.
10 years! 🎉
A decade ago, we started with a simple belief — that Africa's most transformative ideas were already here, waiting to be backed, built, and believed in.
From an on-campus accelerator in an art-wrapped container building to an institutional fund that has backed over 100 companies across the continent — we've spent ten years investing in founders, in systems, and in the environments where innovation takes root.
As we mark this anniversary, we've been reflecting on what the next ten years ask of us. So in the spirit of who we are, we've partnered with the Pan-Atlantic University @pau_nigeria and Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art @shyllonmuseum on two initiatives: a Student Entrepreneurship Engagement Programme and the VP–YSMA Futures Art Award.
Because the next ten years will be built by people who are equal parts curious, creative, and courageous.
Watch our Founding Partner, @kola_aina , share more.

Art. Innovation. Entrepreneurship.

Building imagination for the future together.
