Co-creation HUB is the leading pan-African creative and innovation ecosystem enabler. In 2010, we started out as Nigeria's premier innovation center dedicated to accelerating the application of social capital and technology for economic prosperity in Nigeria. We have since grown our physical presence to five cities (Lagos, Abuja, Kigali, Nairobi and Windhoek) across Africa and we work closely with stakeholders - including entrepreneurs, civil society organizations, government, and private sector - to identify and nurture novel solutions to social challenges in Africa.
In February 2019, Co-creation HUB opened a Design Lab and Research & Development Centre (CcHUB Design Lab) in Kigali, Rwanda focused on innovating for social impact. Our Kigali Centre collaborates with global stakeholders to explore the application of technology to solve Africa’s systemic problems in public health, education, and governance. In September 2019, we acquired iHUB in Nairobi, Kenya and in 2023 we opened Co- creation HUB in Windhoek, Namibia. This expansion plan was intentional in realizing our vision to be Africa's leading pan-African creative and innovation ecosystem enabler.
Since its establishment, CcHUB has supported the development and launch of more than 10,000 innovative technology companies solving social challenges across Africa in areas including budget transparency, agtech, education, fintech, healthcare delivery, creative economy and sustainability.
