“This move to Kigali not only brings us closer to the communities we serve but also cements our commitment to be an Africa-first, data-driven super platform, transforming lives and unlocking potential at an unprecedented scale.” said Mansoor Hamayun, CEO and Co-Founder of Bboxx.
He also added that what makes him excited about Rwanda is the sense of progress, that Rwanda is now becoming a place where the connectivity, infrastructure and skills exist and they see themselves having their operational headquarters in the country to be able to accelerate their vision for wider Africa.
The relocation of Bboxx’s headquarters to Kigali is not merely a relocation but a welcomed strategic move aligning with Rwanda’s overarching goal to become an attractive destination for intelligent and sustainable investments. Such decisions communicate to the global community that Rwanda is not only open for business but also poised for a promising future. The collective efforts and the visionary
leadership in Rwanda emphasize flexibility and openness to foreign investment, positioning the country as a magnet for dynamic and forward-looking ventures.
