Five years after its acquisition by CcHub , iHub has moved to a sleek, two-storey headquarters in Nairobis upscale Lavington area, a clear sign of the accelerators growing influence in Africas tech ecosystem.

The facility also includes co-working spaces, private booths for calls, conference rooms, and dedicated venture capital offices for firms like TLcom and Verod-Kepple Africa Ventures.

We have gone through different stages of growth. Moving here means we are scaling up our work and restating our commitment to Kenya. This move is part of our strategic focus and reflects our growth phase, Ojoma Ochai, CcHub Managing Director who heads iHub operations, told TechCabal.
