Commenting on the official launch, H.E. Paula Ingabire says,
“CcHUB’s expansion into Kigali, marked with the launch of the Design Lab today, is an exciting landmark for Rwanda’s burgeoning tech community. Rwanda is keen on collaborating with world-class partners to establish itself as a leading destination that nurtures innovation-driven enterprises.

We see technology as an integral gateway and means of developing society – an ethos and mission shared by CcHUB. As we strive to become a knowledge-based economy, we will continue to build long-lasting, strategic partnerships that celebrate excellence, forge ahead with progress and that is, essentially, a force for good that will impact thousands of people across the continent.”

To coincide with the launch, CcHUB will announce the Rwanda Biomedical Centre as its first local company to partner, joining the likes of Go-Ga Lab, Nimcure and Safe Online.

The Design Lab, which further reinforces CcHUB’s commitment to solving Africa’s biggest development and social challenges, will be powered by a multidisciplinary design team of designers and engineers. Using design and innovation, the three key sectors of focus are:

On the launch of the Design Lab, ‘Bosun Tijani, CcHUB’s Co-founder and CEO comments, “We’ve been building tech businesses alongside African entrepreneurs for almost a decade and in that time, we’ve identified a common challenge that businesses face when it comes to sustainable growth – Design and Innovation”.

“With the CcHUB Design lab, we will be collaborating with organizations that may not have the capacity to design, build and innovate as quick as leaner startups would. The lab will also build on CcHUB’s extensive global and pan-African network of partners, research institutes, and governmental organizations to execute practical design projects that will solve some of our social and business challenges at scale”.

 

Since launching in 2011, CcHUB has built a community of over 13,000 technologists, entrepreneurs, and thought-leaders, and has incubated and provided support to a portfolio of over 110 early-stage ventures providing solutions to social problems with technology. With the expansion, CcHUB plans to invest approximately $11m in Rwanda.
