Uvu Africa
About
Uvu Africa designs and builds a future-fit inclusive society through innovation & technology. They drive inclusive growth of the digital economy through business incubation, skills development, and through key projects that unlock industry growth as well as ecosystem development through open innovation and collaboration. Uvumbuzi is a Swahili verb for invent, discover, or reveal and used as a synonym for innovation. Uvu also happens to be a palindrome (a word fractal). Uvu in sound, design and meaning takes their core mission and manifests it in the world. Over the years, Uvu Africa initiated bespoke interventions to address specific areas that could unlock substantial growth, CapaCiTi Digital Career Accelerator, producing digitally skilled labour for a growing tech sector and a campus was opened in Cape Town and Johannesburg. As an answer to the question of how they support the improvement of education outcomes in Africa, Uvu Africa established Injini, an edtech-focussed incubator helping businesses in Pan Africa to grow and scale. The latest addition to the group, BioCiTi, was established to stimulate access to the bioeconomy and unlock opportunities for entrepreneurs and scientists with a state-of-the-art shared laboratory and incubation programme.
