A bridge betweenAfrican & Europeaninnovation
Since 2016, Afrolynk has connected African startups, entrepreneurs and innovation ecosystems with the experts, corporates, investors and markets they need to grow — building a community that creates value for good.
A bridge between the African & European ecosystems.
Afrolynk is an impact venture and community organisation based in Berlin, Germany. We believe African start-ups, entrepreneurs and innovation ecosystems have enormous potential to create social, economic and technological transformation — and we build the trusted connections that turn that potential into real ventures, partnerships and jobs.
As one of the leading bridges between the European and African start-up ecosystems, we bring together a community that creates value for good. Facing the challenges of society, we search for solutions, drive technology beyond the status quo, and empower people through education to make a difference.

Pre-Tech & Data Science Training
Hands-on training in data science, Python, Power BI and digital skills — equipping young Africans with future-ready capabilities.
Skills that change careers.
I enjoyed the class throughout and the side benefits that came out of the training. The founder introduced us to the future and what Data Science holds — as a pharmacist in the making, I was surprised to realise how relevant it is to my field.
With a background in accounting, this training helped me so much — especially Power BI. Data science boosted my confidence, helped me present and visualise data, and I've come to understand what Python is in computing.
Let's build the next great African venture — together.
Whether you're a founder, corporate, investor or diaspora expert, there's a place for you in the Afrolynk community.
