Who We Are
The Growth Hub is Nigeria’s premier technology hub, and a national platform. It is a fully integrated centre combining tech skills training, startup incubation, professional coworking, grant consulting, and AI-powered career guidance, built to fuel economic and
individual growth.
Founded to close the digital skills and startup infrastructure gap in cities across Nigeria, starting from Ondo State, we have grown from a single co-working space into a multiservice innovation centre with two fully operational branches in Akure capable of physically hosting 250 persons daily, national programmes, and a stated target of 30 branches across Africa by 2030.
We train students, support founders, upskill corporate teams, and provide the physical and digital infrastructure that African businesses and talent need to compete and win at
the highest level.

What Our Community Says
Before Growth Hub, I had no online presence and no equipment, just a few students for my French Language EdTech. After the programme, we now have courses for busy professionals and entrepreneurs, a landing page, good online marketing, and consistent revenue.
I learnt that with tools like Excel and Power BI, you can make data collection and analytics better. With the tools I’ve learnt and the knowledge acquired, I will be doing my work much better.
I was a full-time business development manager with just a few hours a day. The Growth Hub’s structure made that enough to learn Data Analytics. I’m now leveraging this for my career, and will later set up a consulting service in my niche.
