In celebration of Africa Day, Co-creation Hub (CcHUB) has announced the launch of “Let’s Build, Africa,” an innovative market entry program designed to empower African startups to expand their horizons and enter new markets within the continent.
“Let’s Build, Africa” is a strategic initiative aimed at supporting startups that are poised for cross-border growth but require strategic insights and support to navigate new ecosystems. CcHUB is committed to fostering economic integration and innovation across the continent.
Ojoma Ochai, Managing Director of CcHUB Africa, commented: “We are thrilled to launch ‘Let’s Build, Africa’ on Africa Day, a day that symbolizes unity and progress for our continent. With “Let’s Build, Africa,” startups will be empowered with the tools and connections needed to thrive across Africa. We believe that by facilitating cross-border growth, we can significantly contribute to Africa’s economic integration and innovation landscape.”
According to CcHub, the program will among other thing facilitate cross-border expansion by support startups in gaining insights and access to new markets across Africa, foster collaboration and investment opportunities
between startups and local stakeholders in target markets, and contribute to the economic integration of the African
continent by facilitating easier market access for innovative businesses.
To take part, the startup must be registered in an African country, have at least one of the founders must be an African national and should be at the scale up stage.
By the end of the program, startups will have made substantial progress in entering new markets, forging valuable partnerships, and setting themselves up for investment and growth. This development will have a significant impact on fostering intra-African trade and collaboration within Africa, thereby driving economic growth and fostering innovation across the continent.
