KOFISI Named in Financial Times’ List of Africa’s Fastest Growing Companies 2025

KOFISI Africa, the continent’s leading provider of premium, hospitality-led shared workspaces has been named among the continent’s most dynamic businesses in the Financial Times’ “Africa’s Fastest Growing Companies 2025” special report, produced in partnership with Statista. 

The report, now in its fourth edition, ranks 125 companies demonstrating the most significant revenue growth across Africa—highlighting innovation, resilience and impact in increasingly competitive economic landscapes.

That KOFISI stood out among a wide array of entrants is a testament to its bold growth strategy, its commitment to redefining the shared workspace sector in Africa and its ability to scale thoughtfully while delivering an unparalleled Member experience.

“We are honoured to be listed as one of Africa’s Fastest Growing Companies,” said Michael Aldridge, CEO and Founder of KOFISI. “This recognition is a reflection of our belief that Africa deserves the best business infrastructure and of our ongoing commitment to delivering that standard across the continent.”

Since its inception, KOFISI has reimagined the shared office space model by integrating hospitality, design, and customised enterprise solutions. Each KOFISI Centre is a fully integrated, hospitality-led environment, tailored to enhance productivity, collaboration and wellbeing. 

With Centres already operating in Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, Morocco and further expansions on the horizon, including Rwanda and Egypt, KOFISI continues to pioneer flexible office solutions tailored to multinationals and forward-thinking African enterprises alike. 

Inclusion in the Financial Times ranking is not just a recognition of KOFISI’s fast growth—it’s a validation of sustainable, meaningful growth. As companies across Africa and the globe rethink how and where they work, KOFISI has positioned itself as a partner in that transition, offering adaptive office solutions that allow businesses to remain agile, inspired and globally competitive.

A key driver of growth has been KOFISI’s strategic collaborations, including a recent partnership with Workshop17. Together, they have created the largest network of collaborative flexible workspaces in Africa, giving their Members access to a consistent and reliable work environment across seven countries and all four regions of the continent.

Most notably, the company is preparing to launch KOFISI Kaskazi, a flagship Centre in the Spring Valley area of Westlands, Nairobi. This large eco-system will offer 85,000 sqft of workspace fusing sophisticated design, wellness facilities, restaurants, exclusive Member Club lounges and a private screening room alongside premium office and event space.

KOFISI’s rapid rise and stellar reputation have been recognised on multiple fronts. Just last year, it was named Africa’s Best Co-Working Operator for the second consecutive year at the prestigious API Real Estate Summit in Cape Town. 

The Design Team was also celebrated at the SBID International Office Design Awards for their outstanding work in creating an incredible workspace for a large multinational tech company at KOFISI Square. 

These honours underscore KOFISI’s commitment to excellence, further solidifying the company’s position as a leader in the shared workspace sector.
