Geographical presence

Building the strongest entrepreneurs and growth platform across Africa.

GrowthAfrica aspires to support high potential entrepreneurs across the continent. This involves supporting entrepreneurs’ in their home countries with the right local and anchored support – as well with the networks and platform for when they are ready to expand geographically.

From our headquarter in the innovation hub of Nairobi we kicked off our geographical expansion strategy in 2016. It was high time to take on the growth recipe we prescribe to the entrepreneurs we work with.

We are building lean local teams equipped to run our activities and programmes in-country. They are supported by the resources and larger team in Nairobi. It is key to our success that we deliver activities which are locally anchored and rightly contextualised.

We will continue to grow geographically to serve more entreprenueurs. In the process we are gathering valuable lessons which will help our entrepreneurs when they are ready to grow regionally or continentally.

In 2016 after 4 years of continuously developing and refining the core GrowthAfrica acceleration programme it was time to move from a traditional single location setup to a multi-location organisation. A first step to ultimately build a pan-African organisation and platform.
