Tanzania Hubs Network

The innovation ecosystem in Tanzania has grown significantly over the past decade, from a few innovation hubs in 2014 to over 60 hubs today. However, despite this progress, gaps remain in funding, coordination among hubs, capacity building, training for new hub managers, and advocacy for favorable policies, hindering the ecosystem's potential and leaving entrepreneurs without adequate support. Recognizing these challenges, THN has been established to empower Tanzania’s innovation hubs through capacity building, technical assistance, resource mobilization, and enhanced collaboration among hubs and ecosystem players, aiming to support innovators and entrepreneurs from all backgrounds to create employment opportunities for youth and women, and drive sustainable socio-economic development in the country. Vision A sustainable community amplifying the impact and visibility of Tanzania’s innovation hubs. Mission To build a diversified and inclusive innovation ecosystem in Tanzania through knowledge and resources sharing, support services, facilitating collaborations between hubs and with other ecosystem players, and creating a united voice for policy influence. Long-term Impact We envision a future where every region in Tanzania is a thriving ecosystem of innovation. Every entrepreneur will have access to the support and resources they need to succeed, and amplified collective efforts to drive sustainable socio-economic development across the nation.
