Who Are We

The Africa Makerspace Network is a continent-wide community connecting innovators, creators, and makers across Africa. We believe that by working together, African makers can solve the continent's biggest challenges while building a more prosperous and sustainable future.

Founded in 2019, we've grown from a small group of passionate makers to a network that supports innovation, shares knowledge, and creates opportunities for collaboration across 11+ countries.
