AfricaWorks is welcoming the vibrant Seedstars spaces across its continental network to strengthen support to its entrepreneur’s panafrican community.
AfricaWorks, the first uniquely pan-African flexible workspace provider, today announced an agreement to partner with Seedstars’ African locations in Abidjan, Cairo and Dar es Salaam.
By this new step, AfricaWorks deepened its support to innovation in Africa with a strong will to strengthen business ecosystems with dedicated spaces and solutions to entrepreneurs.
Welcoming Seedstars spaces is a significant move to give talented entrepreneurs and Africaworks’ members a better access to services and visibility to convert their projects into job creation and shared value all across Africa. The addition of Seedstars hubs to the Africaworks platform also provides entrepreneurs across the entire network an access to top-class entrepreneurial and educational programs and extending tailored opportunities across the continent.
We are pleased to announce the Seedstars agreement. By entering the important innovation market, AfricaWorks is now becoming an increasingly integral member of Africa’s crucial innovation ecosystem.

In 2021 we will continue to significantly develop our overall service offering as part of AfricaWorks’ commitment to unlock Africa’s potential and its resilience to covid-1 consequences.
