Local Roots. Global Bridges.

BGS Hubs

BGS Hubs are the beating heart of Black Global Startups (BGS) — physical and virtual spaces where Black founders connect, collaborate, and co-create.

Each hub anchors the global BGS ecosystem in local realities — empowering entrepreneurs with the tools, networks, and community they need to thrive.

The BGS Hub Experience

Every BGS Hub is designed to bring the global ecosystem closer to the local entrepreneur — fostering shared learning, co-creation, and economic empowerment.

WHAT HAPPENS AT A BGS HUB

  • Founder Residency Programs – 3-month accelerators nurturing Black-led startups.

  • Co-Working & Collaboration Spaces – Creative environments for entrepreneurs and innovators.

  • Mentorship & Training Events – Regular workshops led by experts from Africa and the Diaspora.

  • Investor & Partner Showcases – Demo days, pitch nights, and networking events.

  • Community Labs – Co-creation sessions where founders, artists, and technologists collaborate.

  • Diaspora-to-Africa mentorship exchanges

  • Entrepreneurship programs

  • Founder Residencies and incubation labs
