Acelera Angola, a leading incubator and accelerator dedicated to fostering the growth of micro and small businesses (SMEs) in Angola, has successfully extended its reach into Namibia through a strategic partnership with Impact Tank Namibia.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in Impact Tank’s mission to drive innovation, entrepreneurship, inclusion, digital literacy, and enhanced data collection in the African business landscape. Acelera Angola has been at the forefront of supporting Angolan entrepreneurs by providing essential tools and resources to both budding ideas and established companies. With a commitment to stimulating the business ecosystem, Acelera Angola introduces new models that bring about innovation and create a conducive environment for sustainable growth.
“Impact Tank and Acelera have always looked at startups as the catalyst for economic growth. As Impact Tank, we believe if we can strengthen the ability to build better products through Acelera’s experience, then we would easily assist Namibia with its economic growth,” said Elzine Mushabi, CEO of Impact Tank.
During their recent visit to Namibia, hosted by their Namibian partner, Impact Tank, Acelera Angola engaged in market due diligence, ecosystem mapping, and exploratory discussions with potential partners. The visit proved to be fruitful, with Acelera Angola identifying exciting opportunities and establishing connections for future collaborations in Namibia.
“Our partnership with Impact Tank is two pieces of a puzzle that comes together, in that where our work ends, their work begins and vice versa. We are looking to bring those two abilities together to create something that is more impactful and more resourceful for the entrepreneurs in Namibia,” said Eduardo Sette Camara, Managing Partner, Acelera Angola.
Impact Tank and Acelera Angola are committed to building a collaborative platform that encourages entrepreneurship, drives digital literacy, and promotes information sharing in Namibia. Through this partnership, both organizations aim to support local businesses, catalyze innovation, and contribute to the sustainable economic development of the region.
