About Us

Investing in Africa's Tech Future

The COSSA program will initially focus on tech ventures that are ready to scaleup from their country of origin into new markets. COSSA leverages the strategic incentives, one stop-shop and enabling environment created by TRIFIC SEZ, the high-end office space and admin services delivered by ONESPACE as well as the capital provided by Chanzo Capital through our KINGS (Kenya, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa) fund. In addition to the Capital, the Accelerator will provide Capacity building for the cohort and connect them to the business Community of the countries they are launching into.

The COSSA program is a partnership between three leading African institutions crafting an African solution to the challenges that businesses from one country face when they want to expand into other countries in Africa. The program leverages the tailwind of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTA) to create African multi-national corporations.
