Value proposition

We believe in African innovation.

Make-IT in Africa believes in the catalytic power of African innovation and digital technologies for green and inclusive development.

In close collaboration with digital visionaries like start-ups, innovation enablers and political partners, we empower African innovation ecosystems. Together, we aim to strengthen an environment in which the full potential of African digital innovation can unfold.

Our goal is to make innovation ecosystems future-ready—to build a resilient environment for digital visionaries and their partners. So, they can create impactful change in Africa—socially, environmentally, and economically.
