Co-creation Hub (CcHUB) says it has invested about N$1 million in Namibian startups since 2021, as it expands its footprint in the country’s innovation ecosystem.
Speaking to The Brief, CcHUB Director Jude Adejuwon said the organisation has built a community of more than 5,000 members and established five specialised groups focused on creatives, developers and data scientists, providing a structured platform for both technical and creative growth.
“Our numbers reflect our deliberate work. We want to continue to support entrepreneurs and innovators who are building for Africa’s prosperity. Our future plans are largely around sustainability: how do we make the hub sustainable, how do we keep running the programmes, and how do we find partners to work with us to achieve our mission,” he said.
He added that more than 200 startups have benefited from specialised training and acceleration programmes, while 50 startups trace their origins directly to CcHUB’s internal initiatives.
The hub is also helping position Namibian innovation on the global stage, with at least 10 startups already exposed to international markets.
CcHUB currently supports more than 100 co-working members, offering space for freelancers and entrepreneurs to grow their operations. In addition, the organisation has hosted over 120 community events and engagements.
“CcHUB is a Pan-African organisation. Our mission is innovation for African prosperity. As part of our Pan-African expression, Namibia was an ideal place to establish a presence and bring our methodology to support that mission,” Adejuwon said.
Founded in 2010 in Lagos, Nigeria, CcHUB is a leading African technology and innovation centre that provides shared workspaces, funding support and networks to help startups develop and scale across the continent.
