African tech hubs – now more than 1,000 across the continent – accelerate digital, social and economic transformation as they support start-ups. The tech-enabled services companies they strengthen are the future of #smecompetitiveness. But tech hubs struggle to monetize their services and face other hurdles including where they sit within the entrepreneurial ecosystem, how they are set up, and whether they can access the funding, facilities and equipment they need to function effectively. And their role should not be overlooked. Startups supported by tech hubs receive twice as much funding as those without support. If innovation is needed, now is the time to help create a more supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem for tech hubs and the small businesses they serve. The report provides an in-depth analysis of what a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem requires, while setting out the challenges that many hubs still face.  The authors also include cases, business models and insights to help African tech hubs succeed, while setting out recommendations that hubs, policymakers and funders should consider for the future. I want to thank Martin Labbé for making this important publication a regular occurrence and our partners Bond'innov, @briter bridges and Impact Hub Network for their contributions.
