Freetown Innovation Hub (FIH)

Sierra Leone's Tech Accelerator

Our Mission: The First Acceleration Space for Advanced IT Professionals in Sierra Leone.

FIH empowers and accelerates the skills of intermediate and advanced IT professionals, focusing on turning proof-of-concepts and prototypes into viable, market-ready "tech-only" solutions.

The Accelerator Difference

Unlike an incubator, we specifically target individuals who already have a proof of concept, a prototype, or a solution. Our model is designed to accelerate their existing work into scalable products.

Emerging Technologies

Our focus is strictly on "tech-only" solutions and future-forward domains, including blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling next-generation solutions.

Local Innovation Driver

Our biggest contribution is being the first and potentially the only acceleration space for this level of IT professional in Sierra Leone, enabling young people to create and drive IT-related solutions.

Successful Programs & Initiatives

01

Insurance Data Dashboard

We successfully built a comprehensive dashboard for a major insurance company. This solution helps them manage a vast amount of customer data and integrates seamlessly with mobile money platforms to streamline their operations.

02

Enterprise Management Systems

Our portfolio also includes the development of a dedicated Human Resources (HR) system and an advanced Fleet Management system, clearly demonstrating our focus on creating tangible, high-impact "tech-only" enterprise solutions.

Our Core Values: Inclusivity & Sustainability

Promoting Inclusivity

We promote inclusivity by creating a clear pathway for young people and underserved groups to participate in the digital economy. By providing advanced technical skills in blockchain, AI, and IoT, we ensure they can create and drive IT-related solutions, regardless of background.

Integrating Sustainability

Our focus on developing viable tech-only businesses (like the insurance dashboard) contributes directly to both financial and social sustainability. We are building a self-sustaining local ecosystem that generates economic value and stable employment for our community.

Showcasing Our Participation

We are committed to sharing the knowledge and insights gained from global events with our local community to ensure maximum benefit for the entire ecosystem.
