They are now in 7 new cities and 1 new country, Comoros and this brings the network to a total of 268 innovation hubs in 49 African countries.

With the number of innovation hubs springing up on the continent, it is crucial that they have a community of like-minded individuals to co-create with and also have adequate support for growth.

These hubs as we know play a pivotal role in the economic growth and development of their various countries.
