One mission. Three levers.
We build the science and practice of entrepreneurial ecosystems in Africa. Three sites carry that mission, each with a distinct role — and the value of the group comes from the way they combine.

Observe · Train · Advance
The observatory. We map and qualify the support actors of entrepreneurial ecosystems across Africa, MENA, the Gulf and Europe — measured data, diagnostics, decision tools, applied research.
- What it delivers
- 60,600+ qualified actors across 150+ countries · the 5-layer, 14-boost framework · COTEE, meta-organization, gender and AEEI lenses · OSE Expert, OSE Connect, reports, advisory.
- Who it serves
- Governments, donors, sovereign funds, foundations, embassies, investors, researchers, founders.
The academy. Capacity building deployed where it is needed — online, on-site, in ecosystem residency — to train the people who design, fund and steer ecosystems.
- What it delivers
- Short modules, Executive Programme, professional certifications, applied research — built on the OSE scientific framework and deployable across Africa.
- Who it serves
- Public agencies, donors, incubator networks, executives, consultants, doctoral candidates.
The research school. A scholarly home for entrepreneurial ecosystem research — six editions across Europe and Africa, with the next one coming.
- What it delivers
- Annual research school, calls for papers, scholar network, peer-reviewed contributions to the science of entrepreneurial ecosystems.
- Who it serves
- Researchers, doctoral candidates, faculty, evidence-minded practitioners.
The same framework, from observation to practice and back.
- 1
An observatory without an academy ages
Its data sits unused; its insights do not reach the people who could act on them.
- 2
An academy without an observatory drifts
It teaches yesterday's cases rather than today's evidence, and cannot say where to deploy capacity building.

Neither holds without a research school
Without the scholars who advance the framework, both the data and the teaching run on borrowed credibility.
COTEE, the meta-organization framework, the gender and AEEI lenses are observed in OSE, taught at ADALIA and debated at EERS — one grammar, three uses.
One contact for the whole galaxy.
Observation, training or research — tell us what you need and we route you to the right lever.
