Nala, Wave, Stitch, and nine other African startups make Norrsken’s 2025 Impact 100 list
- The Norrsken Foundation curated the Impact/100 list from over 1,400 nominations from various sectors.
- Twelve African startups were recognized, reflecting the continent's strength in fintech, cleantech, and agritech.
- Wave, a Senegalese fintech, raised $137 million in debt financing to expand its services across West Africa.
The Norrsken Impact/100 list underscores the potential of African startups to drive social and environmental change. However, the absence of Nigerian fintechs raises questions about the inclusivity of the selection process and the need for greater representation from Nigeria, a significant player in the fintech space.
