The move aims to empower a new generation of startups to penetrate regional markets and achieve sustainable growth.
Operating from its headquarters in Cairo, and through its regional office in Rwanda serving East Africa, AGX has successfully built a broad alliance network comprising prominent local and regional partners. The studio currently supports more than 50 startups, providing them with a reliable and efficient “market access passport” to over 15 African countries.
Beyond advisory services, AGX delivers a fully integrated operational ecosystem that includes structuring strategic local partnerships, providing on-the-ground operational support in target markets, and directly connecting startups with customers, key stakeholders, and decision-makers.
A Distinctive Business Model
AGX Consultant Studio stands out with a business model that goes beyond traditional investment frameworks. The firm acts as a co-founding partner, actively building companies from within and participating directly in management and governance. Its focus spans critical sectors that form the backbone of Africa’s future, including technology and digital transformation, cybersecurity, agriculture, and food security.
Commenting on the expansion, Dr. Fady Ismail, Chief Executive Officer of AGX, said:
“Our vision goes beyond funding. Our strategy is centered on building companies and opening African markets to them, creating tangible economic impact that supports African economic integration and transforms the continent’s challenges into real and sustainable growth opportunities for innovators.”
He added:
“These expansions reaffirm AGX’s commitment to supporting Africa’s technological and food sovereignty by enabling startups to bridge market gaps through locally developed, globally competitive innovations—positioning Africa as a prime destination for venture capital and smart solutions.”
