TechInAfrica — AfriLabs, an organization that supports technology and innovation centers across Africa, has announced that it has expanded its business by adding 20 new hubs to its already vast network.

This pan-African network organization establishes hubs where each of them serves as a meeting point for entrepreneurs, technologists, investors, tech companies and web/mobile engineers in its community.

In a statement earlier this week, the organization said that in Nigeria, it had added Box Office Hub, MusterPoint Coworking Space, Exponential Hub, RAD5 Tech Hub, Cedar Hive, Capital Square and Cavic Hub.

It also added several other new West African members, including Tarkwa Entrepreneurship Development Hub in Ghana, Sèmè City in the Republic of Benin, OVillage in Ivory Coast and Suguba in Mali.

In East Africa, it added Gear Box in Kenya, BlueMoon and Startup Factory in Ethiopia and Ennovate Hub in Tanzania. In Southern Africa, AfriLabs has added IdeiaLab in Mozambique and Dream Factory Innovation in Botswana.

In addition, AfriLabs also welcomed Junub Open Space in South Sudan and LaFactory by Screendy in Morocco into its network. The organization as well announced that it had added Afrobytes in France as part of its diaspora members. With the addition of the 20 new hubs, AfriLabs now has 174 hubs across 45 countries in total.

Through a statement, AfriLabs executive director, Anna Ekeledo, said that the organization is excited to admit such innovative members who are eager to contribute to the thriving African tech and innovative ecosystem.

“We strongly believe in the ability of African hubs to steer innovation on the continent that will stimulate socio-economic development in Africa. Welcome to the network,” she said.
