Norrsken Rwanda is registered in Rwanda and is 100% owned by Stiftelsen Norrsken Foundation. Stiftelsen Norrsken Foundation is a non-profit organisation founded in 2016 in Stockholm Sweden, with the aim of establishing an enabling environment for impact entrepreneurs to solve some of the world's pressing challenges. The foundation runs Europe's biggest co-working space and impact entrepreneur’s hub in Stockholm, Sweden. The foundation opened Norrsken Kigali house in December 2021 and the hub which currently hosts 1000+ entrepreneurs is expected to reach at least 1200 entrepreneurs by the end of 2023.

Norrsken Kigali House aims to become one of Africa’s biggest hubs for entrepreneurship & innovation. The House aims is to accelerate sustainable and inclusive socio-economic growth for East Africa, by enabling entrepreneurs to grow scalable businesses. Successful entrepreneurs have the potential to become societal role models and have a direct impact on the region by creating local employment, helping to adapt new tech locally, contributing to the region’s tax base and public services, and attracting more talent and capital to the ecosystem.

The Kigali House also aims to become a ‘hub of hubs’ that brings together innovation, health, education, and technology. In other words, the House will work closely with leading companies and organizations, to facilitate a supportive infrastructure of resources and advisory services for the entrepreneurs to tap into, to further improve their likelihood of success.
