Enterprises
“Itanna means to ignite”
Itanna is an impact initiative that invests in disruptive businesses in Africa providing growth capital and seed capital through its 5-month accelerator programme. Located at the Enterprise Factory in Lagos, Nigeria, it is a place (physically and conceptually) where Africa’s top talent will bring their ideas, visions, expertise, and resources to create a new wave of revolutionary enterprises that stimulate economic growth across the continent. It is a place we will do business. It is a place where we will build businesses. It is a place where we will IGNITE.
Economic Revolution through Innovation
Led by the Honeywell Group, in partnership with the African Economic Revolution Fund (AERF), Itanna will provide the expertise, capital, market connections, institutional knowledge and the capital required to enable innovative teams build revolutionary enterprises.
We believe that together we can power economic revolution through innovation and entrepreneurship.
