[EleéeH @element_eleeeh]

I’m truly honored to be selected for the Up Next East Africa campaign on @AppleMusic , as the first ever Rwandan artist to receive this accolate. It’s a powerful platform that puts a spotlight on our stories, our sound, and the culture we’re building. This moment means more than recognition, it’s a responsibility to represent where I come from with authenticity, but also to challenge the space and push it forward. My art is big, bold, and intentionally disruptive , I’m not here to fit into what already exists, I’m here to stretch it, to question it, and to elevate it. I want people to feel that energy in everything I create. To my fans, 2026 is about growth on every level new music ! deeper storytelling, and collaborations that connect East Africa to the world.
So I combined all the songs I released from day one as an EP and called it “GENESIS”.
Meaning that we’re starting🔝

We keep on skipping building deep tech r&d capability+capacity and somehow hope just using the tools will get us to heaven. The private sector must invest, academia must evolve and the public sector must build an enabling space with guard rails.

[Makhtar Diop @Diop_IFC]

African businesses grow stronger when financing is aligned with the currencies in which they operate and earn.

Today, @IFC_org and @myaccessbank signed an up to $500M equivalent framework to scale local currency financing for MSMEs, agribusiness, housing, and infrastructure across #Africa.

This partnership will help deepen local currency markets and support sustainable private sector growth across the continent. #ACF26

[Africa Fintech Summit @AfriFintech]

African growth capital is still moving, even in a tougher global fundraising environment.

Rwanda-based Admaius Capital Partners has launched a $500 million Africa-focused growth equity fund targeting high-growth sectors across Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, Rwanda, and South Africa, with the IFC considering a $25 million commitment.

The Virunga Africa Fund II will focus on sectors shaping the continent’s next phase of economic growth, including financial services, healthcare, FMCG, education, and digital infrastructure.

At a time when many African businesses face limited access to long-term financing, funds like this play a critical role in scaling regional champions, supporting job creation, and expanding access to capital across key markets.

The continued involvement of institutions like IFC also signals that global investors still see long-term value in Africa’s growth story despite tighter market conditions worldwide.
