AfriLabs Expands its Network with 18 New Hubs Across Africa

AfriLabs, the largest network of technology and innovation hubs in Africa, has announced the admission of 18 new hubs to its network, bringing the total to 496 hubs spread across 261 cities in 53 African countries.

This expansion further solidifies AfriLabs' presence across all regions of Africa, including its first hub in a new city: Stellenbosch, South Africa, with "The SU LaunchLab". Among the 18 new hubs that have joined the network, three are from Tunisia: The Dot, Connect'Innov, and DALL (DigiArtLivingLab). The Dot is the largest digital hub in the northern region and is affiliated with the Tunisian government.

Tunisia has been part of the AfriLabs network since 2019 and is currently represented by around 20 hubs.

Mayssa Mrabet, Community Director of AfriLabs, stated: "We are truly inspired by the remarkable growth of our network, which highlights the unlimited potential and innovation of Africa."

She added: "Each new hub enriches our community with unique perspectives and opportunities, and we are particularly thrilled to extend our presence into new regions and cities, including the dynamic city of Stellenbosch in South Africa. Together, we are not just growing; we are shaping a dynamic and resilient ecosystem that catalyzes transformative change across the continent."

Since 2011, the organization has been committed to stimulating innovation and entrepreneurship across the continent by bringing together technology hubs, startups, investors, and other key stakeholders in the ecosystem.
