Provence Africa Connect is a collective initiative, driven by a public-private synergy of actors and operators engaged in partnerships with the Mediterranean and Africa. This dynamic is based on a deep understanding of Africa’s development challenges and offers integrated, responsible, and co-constructed projects and solutions with African partners.
This approach, bringing together more than thirty actors, is aimed at entrepreneurs, talents, and project leaders. From Aix-Marseille-Provence, this strategy deploys a structured long-term approach to developing a trusted ecosystem between Europe, the Mediterranean, and Africa.
Innovation is at the heart of Provence Africa Connect, as the rise of innovation in Africa represents a significant opportunity for the metropolitan area. With advanced digital infrastructures and African investments, Aix-Marseille-Provence positions itself as an attractive hub for African innovative companies.
The Provence Africa Connect soft-landing program helps African startups develop their projects in the Aix-Marseille-Provence area, in partnership with actors such as Accélérateur M, Marseille Innovation, Eurobiomed, and Kedge Business School.
The Provence Africa Connect competition, launched by the Métropole, Emerging Valley, Africalink and Aix-Marseille-Provence French Tech, highlights and encourages innovative entrepreneurs engaged in partnership with Africa. This competition mobilizes the metropolitan innovation ecosystem and has already rewarded several remarkable companies.
Every year, 7,000 African talents come to Aix-Marseille-Provence, forming a driving force essential to the region’s prominence as a Europe-Africa hub. The Provence Africa Connect initiative supports their professional and academic development through tailored training and international cooperation.
EMERGING Valley has been organized for the past 4 years in the Aix-Marseille-Provence region, benefiting from its strategic position as a hub for exchanges between Europe and Africa.
