Building the Future Together As AfriLabs continues to expand its reach and impact, the commitment of its member hubs remains the driving force behind its success. The journey ahead is filled with opportunities to foster greater collaboration, drive innovation, and create lasting change across the continent. Together, we are building a stronger, more connected African innovation ecosystem—one hub at a time.
In 2024, AfriLabs experienced significant growth, expanding its network from 467 to 519 hubs across 53 countries while strengthening collaboration and knowledge exchange. Through regional focus group discussions, capacity-building initiatives, city meetups, and global delegations, we deepened our impact by promoting an inclusive and thriving innovation ecosystem. Despite challenges such as language barriers and funding limitations, the network achieved key milestones, including the launch of the AfriLabs Ambassadors Program, increased Francophone support, and expanded regional engagement. These efforts have positioned AfriLabs for greater influence and sustainability as we continue empowering our community in 2025 and beyond.
