Nurturing African Innovation

Fábrica de Sabão is Angola’s first innovation Hub aimed at nurturing an ecosystem to foster innovation-led education, creativity and entrepreneurship amongst impoverished Angolans. The Hub comprises five main pillars: Co-working space, Incubator, Accelerator, MakerSpace and Cultural Connector. There is also a space to move niche Angolan enterprises from incubation to launch.

Djembe was tasked to develop the Hub’s positioning and to engage stakeholders as part of the Hub’s long-term development strategy.
