About Afrolynk

A bridge between Africa & Europe

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.

Who we are

Building trusted connections that create value for good.

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.
