AfricaWorks Expands Its Footprint in Lusaka
The Biggest Coworking Space in Zambia Opens
There’s exciting news for startups, freelancers, and established small, medium and large businesses alike! AfricaWorks, the leading flexible workspace provider in Africa, opened its 2nd location in Lusaka in October. This new coworking space is the biggest in Zambia.
Located at Agora Village mixed-use complex in the emerging business district of Mass Media, the new AfricaWorks will transform the way people work in Lusaka. It promises a vibrant atmosphere with distinctive architecture and an abundance of features designed specifically for productivity and creativity.
Growing Demand in a Thriving Ecosystem
AfricaWorks opened its first space in Lusaka in 2022 at “4 on Bishops” in Kabulonga. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with occupancy rates consistently above 90%. This high demand stems from a mix of multinational companies, NGOs, and rapidly growing startups in the area.
The Zambian startup scene is thriving, especially in the Fintech sector. Companies such as Union54, Lupiya, and Zoona have recently raised millions, demonstrating the potential for innovation and growth in the region.
Insights from Leadership
Gregoire Schwebig, the Founder and CEO of AfricaWorks, shared his thoughts
on this significant expansion: “Our second location in Lusaka is a testament to our belief in the potential of Lusaka as a thriving hub for startups and businesses.” Schwebig believes that by expanding into this space, they are not just increasing their footprint, but also enhancing their impact on the Zambian business community.
Noni Xulu, Head of Sales & Business Development at AfricaWorks, added to this
sentiment: “Our goal is to create a dynamic community where individuals can connect,
collaborate, and grow together.”
These statements highlight the AfricaWorks’ commitment to cultivating an
inspiring working environment.
Impact Across Africa
Launched in 2019, AfricaWorks has shown remarkable growth, expanding from one workspace to over 15 locations across 8 cities on the continent. They serve 1,000 corporate clients, including global giants like TikTok, L’Oreal, and Toyota. The increasing demand for quality coworking spaces among multinationals, SMEs, and startups has fuelled AfricaWorks’ expansion. As Africa continues to
evolve as a major business hub, spaces like AfricaWorks are helping pave the way.
The Lusaka startup ecosystem is emerging, and with it, dynamic opportunities for networking and collaboration. AfricaWorks’ new facility at Agora Village is set to be an integral part of this growth. With state-of-the-art facilities and a wealth of opportunities for collaboration, AfricaWorks Lusaka is set to continue making an impressive impact on the Zambian business landscape.
