We built TIC because the institutions shaping Africa’s future deserve practical solutions, stronger collaboration, and systems that create real impact. We provide expert support, strategic connections, and tools that work , helping strengthen higher education, research, innovation, and industry engagement across the ecosystem.
To empower Higher Education Institutions across Nigeria and Africa to drive sustainable development in line with Agenda 2063 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We strive to foster, facilitate, and support the successful collaborations between knowledge producers and industries that harness that knowledge, through technology and bespoke services that result in measurable value.
Our story
Thels Impact Consulting (TIC) was founded in Abuja, Nigeria, in response to the major challenges facing higher education across Nigeria and Africa such as underfunded research centres, dilapidated university structures, weak monitoring systems, and a growing gap between academia and industry. We believe the sector needs practical solutions, stronger collaboration, and real innovation.
TIC was built on three core beliefs:
What we believe
We are committed to creating measurable, lasting change in higher education, research, and innovation across Nigeria and Africa. We achieve this by partnering with universities, strengthening research capacity, supporting policy development, and delivering programs that bridge the gap between academia and industry
This principle also shapes how we work internally, fostering collaboration, shared ownership, and alignment as we work together toward common goals and objectives.
We hold ourselves to high standards in everything we deliver, from research, consulting, training, and down to project implementation. We say what we mean and we deliver on our promise with world class standards.
We champion creative thinking, digital transformation, and practical solutions that address real challenges in the education and research ecosystem. We bring this principle to life by running innovation challenges, co-developing new solutions with stakeholders, and continuously designing practical approaches that directly respond to identified problems in the sector.
We are transparent in our operations, rigorous and thorough in our approach, and responsible in how we leverage knowledge and resources to translate value for you.
We are committed to empowering African institutions, scholars, and innovators and to celebrating Africa's intellectual and cultural strengths on the world stage.
