Bridging African innovation and global opportunities

Writer: Yohannes Taye  |  Editor: Zhang Chanwen  |  From: Original  |  Updated: 2025-05-13

For the past three years, my focus has expanded towards connecting Africa’s growing tech ecosystem with global investors.

Shenzhen’s resources and innovation environment provide an incredible platform to foster these connections.

One key initiative I am proud of is Startups Safari, a program designed to bring Chinese investors to my hometown in Africa.

This project allows investors not only to visit startups but also to engage with local experts on policies and market dynamics.

It’s a comprehensive networking experience that immerses visitors in the local entrepreneurial ecosystem, including accelerators and incubators.

My vision is to stay in Shenzhen long-term, continuing to build bridges between African startups and investors here. I believe the potential for collaboration is enormous, and Shenzhen’s networks and resources are uniquely positioned to support this mission.
