Partnerships are how our work scales.

Philanthropic funders underwriting ecosystem-support programs, policy research, or independent journalism as a public good.

Governments and regulators looking to understand or engage Africa’s innovation economy with evidence.

Universities and research institutions building tech-transfer and entrepreneurship capacity.

Hubs, accelerators, and operator networks delivering programs on the ground.

Investors and DFIs designing patient, locally-anchored capital vehicles.

Every partnership starts with a conversation. We map our priorities to yours, agree on scope and success criteria up front, and sign a letter of intent before any financial commitment.

We publish the shape of our partnerships — funders, programs, and deliverables — in our annual report. What we do not publish is confidential beneficiary data or anything a partner has asked us to keep private in writing.
