Swiss-based Startup and Innovation Promoter in emerging markets, Seedstars company that brings together key stakeholders focused on driving technological change in emerging markets, Seedstars is expected to launch another Seedspace in Cape Town, South Africa after a similar move in the MENA region, in Cairo, Egypt.

The launch of Seedstars’ new hub will happen with a bustling event on the 21st of June at 6pm, at Seedspace Cape Town, with the support of the Swiss Embassy and Payfast.

According to Romulo Navarrete, Head of Operations at Seedspace, “For a long time we’ve been active in the Cape Town ecosystem, organizing our Seedstars World startup pitch competition and engaging with ecosystem actors like Spin Street House, which played a vital role in our settlement in the city. Now, by fusing this local hub with Seedspace globally we aim to consolidate our activities in Cape Town and South Africa, providing the local ecosystem not just with a space, but also access to a robust international community”
