About Us

Our Founding Vision

Established in November 2022, the Alfajiri Business Network was conceived as a transformative platform for African entrepreneurs residing in Germany and neighboring regions. “Alfajiri,” meaning “early morning” in Swahili, symbolizes new beginnings and the proactive spirit we embody. Our early morning gatherings provide a dedicated space for networking, empowerment, mentorship, and professional development among African business leaders.

Decolonizing Economic Paradigms

Our foundation is deeply rooted in the imperative to decolonize economic frameworks both in the diaspora and across the African continent. We challenge traditional Western-dominated business models that have historically marginalized African enterprises. By fostering partnerships grounded in equality and equity, we aim to dismantle systemic biases and promote a more inclusive global economy.

Empowering African Entrepreneurs

Alfajiri serves as a catalyst for African entrepreneurs to:

  • Connect: Engage with a community that shares common experiences and aspirations.
  • Collaborate: Form equitable partnerships that respect and value African contributions.
  • Challenge: Address and confront the economic and social impacts of global white privilege.
  • Transform: Redefine business practices to reflect the principles of fairness and mutual respect.

Our Commitment

We are dedicated to creating an environment where African businesses can thrive without the constraints of historically imposed limitations. By hosting regular early morning networking events, we provide opportunities for entrepreneurs to share insights, mentor one another, and develop strategies that challenge the status quo.
