  • Increase private investments in emerging markets by demonstrating that small producers can compete successfully in local and global markets
  • Provide business incubation services for innovative and fast growing African companies
  • Replicate the model throughout all of the African nations

What’s special about Afriversity?

Afriversity is a non-profit organisation founded in Sweden in 2008 with the mission to train and support aspiring African entrepreneurs. The long term initiative is to help Africans become more competitive in a new era for African prosperity in the global economy.

Afriversity strives to:

  • Promote broad-based economic development, wealth and employment that benefits the local African communities
  • Increase outside investment in Africa's entrepreneurial sector
  • Foster a culture of socially responsible business and community leadership to inspire more African entrepreneurs to have the confidence to make the leap and start their own business

Afriversity works with its partners to help create dynamic, functioning markets for new ventures that will help reduce poverty and increase sustainable and autonomous companies in Africa. Throughout the consulting process we also work to educate young professionals and future leaders in First World countries about the importance of entrepreneurship in emerging markets.
