From Lab to Market. From Africa to the World.
“Where Prototypes Become Ventures.”
Incub8 transforms prototypes into ventures by offering access to labs, infrastructure, mentorship, and global partnerships.
About Us
Incub8 is a venture studio and incubation platform dedicated to transforming Africa’s most promising prototypes into investment-ready, globally competitive ventures. Born out of a recognition that too many research-driven innovations end at the prototype stage, Incub8 provides the critical bridge between research-driven viable ideas and full commercialization.
Unlike traditional incubators, Incub8 does not stop at mentorship or training, or funding. We offer a rare combination of world-class laboratories, advanced prototyping facilities, raw materials, and hands-on venture-building support. Our startups are equipped to design, manufacture, and scale hardware and technology solutions within a uniquely African makerspace, while tapping into international networks of partners, investors, and collaborators.
At Incub8, founders do not simply survive; they build companies capable of reshaping industries.
