Why it exists

Growing Africa’s Product Community

Research into Africa's tech ecosystems points to a clear pattern, which is that the people who build the fastest-growing companies are the ones connected to others who have already built at scale, whether by working alongside them, learning from them, or being backed by them.

That is why ecosystem convening sits at the heart of the foundation's work. By bringing Africa's product community and ecosystem stakeholders together, we create the connections through which experience, talent, and capital flow, and real impact is achieved.
