2025 marks 10 years since Villgro Africa was established. A decade. This is not just an anniversary, it’s major milestone in a journey intertwined with that of the African health innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.

The Villgro at 10 report featured here is a celebration of the vibrant landscape that has blossomed alongside us, a landscape that we have been privileged to help cultivate since 2015. We hope it serves as a source of inspiration for the exciting possibilities of the next decade ahead. Join us as we celebrate ten years of impact and look forward to a future where African innovation leads the way in solving Africa’s, and indeed the world’s, most pressing health challenges.

Villgro Africa’s work is about shifting from dependency on external solutions to celebrating and amplifying African ingenuity. The impact of health entrepreneurship extends beyond improved health outcomes. It’s a powerful engine for economic development. By nurturing health entrepreneurship, we are not just solving the problem of disease. We are also laying the building blocks of a robust health sector, a vital component of any thriving economy.
