IMPACT REPORTS

2024 Impact report:
PATHWAYS TO PROSPERITY

This year marked a significant milestone for Viridian as we celebrated our fifth anniversary. We’ve successfully navigated the critical early years, a period where many businesses fail.

We are not only happy for Viridian, but for the African entrepreneurs we support. As our team has strengthened and our expertise has deepened over the years, we have become even more convinced that we can help shift this statistic for other businesses too.

Our goal in 2025 is to keep making connections across the entrepreneurial ecosystem to strengthen the ecosystem overall.

With that being said, we invite you to take a look at our 2024 impact report and reach out if you’d like to collaborate to make more impact in 2025. 🌱

Shared prosperity for Africa

From blue- and green-tech hub specialisation, to reaching new countries, to wonderful new partnerships, our 2023 impact report showcases the positive changes we have made through our programmes and projects for African entrepreneurs, hubs and angel investors.

To all our partners, suppliers, friends and programme participants – we would like to sincerely thank you for your continued support. We are excited to see what the new year holds for us.

Last year was a year of growth, new challenges, and lots of new connections.

See what the Viridian team got up to last year.

2022 IMPACT REPORT:
FROM OUTCOMES TO IMPACT

Our annual reflection always comes with a sense of deep gratitude because we know the time, effort, and commitment it takes to do the work that we do – together.

To help us visualise our key moments of the year, we’ve put together a mini report spotlighting the work we’re proud of, and we invite you to explore the highlight reel.

As we page through and see the impact of the various programmes we’ve delivered this year, we can’t help but think of the possibilities that lie ahead in the new year.

Let’s build impactful programmes, together.
