On a mission to "datify" knowledge and information across underserved markets, where the lack of organised and polished information represents a barrier to opportunities, via briterintelligence.com.

As the UK-Africa entrepreneurial corridor continues to grow, its community of entrepreneurs, investors, ecosystem operators and leaders in the public and private sectors is flourishing on both continents. But last year we felt it was currently a scattered community, with no central convening point or way to truly understand who all its contributors are. That’s why the London Africa Network aim is to bring these people together in a more defined way with the sole focus on being a support mechanism for the growth of the UK-Africa Startup corridor and acting as a conduit to those who are newly entering the space. A community operating offline and online with a focus on helping connect people through meaningful introductions, conversations and opportunities.
