At the heart of Ghana’s informal economy lies the strength, resilience, and creativity of countless entrepreneurs — market women, seamstresses, barbers, shoemakers, food vendors, and small business owners — who hustle daily with little formal support. The AES Adesua Growth & Incubation Hub is here to change that narrative. We are a transformational entrepreneurship and innovation center, dedicated to equipping informal entrepreneurs with the knowledge, tools, mentorship, and networks they need to thrive, grow, and formalize their businesses.
To become Africa’s leading platform for inclusive entrepreneurship, grassroots innovation, and sustainable economic transformation – empowering thousands of informal entrepreneurs to rise, scale, and lead.
To bridge the gap between the informal and formal economy by providing practical business education, personalized coaching, access to markets and funding, and a supportive community where learning leads to lasting progress.
Across Africa, over 80% of businesses operate in the informal sector. These entrepreneurs have passion but lack access to business education, financing, mentorship, and structured support. AES Adesua Hub exists to be the “Fie” — the home — of practical learning and enterprise growth.
Whether you’re a seamstress with a dream, a coconut seller seeking to brand your product, or a mechanic who wants to open a chain of workshops — this is your home for growth.
