The year ahead will see the continued rise of tech hubs and incubators in Africa, expected to number close to 300 by year-end, with the new community of hubs to be characterised by increased verticalisation for a more effective, value-laden incubation and co-working model.
In December, Disrupt Africa featured five tech hubs which have sprung up in the far corners of Africa, in places even we didn’t expect. Of note, 2015 saw a new hub and entrepreneurship development centre, Africa House, open in Somalia – the first such project to launch in the Somali regions; while the Gambia also saw its first tech hub open, when Jokkolabs expanded to the country launching a space in the capital Banjul.
