KOFISI Africa, the continent’s leading provider of premium, hospitality-led shared workspaces, has once again been named in the Financial Times’ “Africa’s Fastest Growing Companies 2026” special report, produced in partnership with Statista.

The report, now in its fifth edition, ranks 130 companies demonstrating the most significant revenue growth across Africa highlighting innovation, resilience and impact in increasingly competitive economic landscapes.

For KOFISI, this marks the second consecutive year on the list, a recognition that speaks not just to rapid expansion, but to the kind of deliberate, sustainable growth that is reshaping how Africa works.

“Being recognised again by the Financial Times is gratifying, but rankings are ultimately a by-product of execution,” said Michael Aldridge, CEO and Founder of KOFISI.

“What matters is that the workplaces, services and communities we have spent years building are now delivering value for our Members every day.

As businesses rethink where and how they work, demand is increasingly concentrating around quality, flexibility and experience. That trend is benefiting KOFISI across Africa and is now supporting our expansion into the UAE, where we see significant opportunities to serve multinational companies and regional champions alike.

We have never been more optimistic about the future. The foundations are in place, our best assets are operational, and we are only just beginning to realise the scale of the opportunity ahead.”

KOFISI Kaskazi: Africa’s Flagship Workspace is Open

Perhaps the most significant development since last year’s recognition is the opening of KOFISI Kaskazi in Nairobi, Kenya. 

This landmark 85,000 sqft Centre is unlike anything else on the continent — a fully realised ecosystem where work, wellness and lifestyle converge under one roof.

KOFISI Kaskazi offers bespoke and private offices alongside collaborative workspaces, luxurious Member lounges, large event spaces, restaurants and wellness facilities — with accommodation also coming on stream.

It represents KOFISI’s most ambitious expression yet of its hospitality-led model:a truly live-work destination for Africa’s most forward-thinking professionals and organisations

Two Continents: KOFISI Arrives in Dubai

In a landmark move that signals KOFISI’s evolution from an African leader to a global brand, the company has expanded into the UAE, marking its first presence outside Africa and its arrival on a second continent.

This expansion reflects the growing demand for KOFISI’s distinctive blend of premium workspace, hospitality and community among the international business community, and positions the brand to serve the significant number of multinationals and African enterprises operating across both markets. 

Rwanda: Groundbreaking of KOFISI Innovation City

On the African continent, KOFISI continues to plant its flag in new markets.

The company has broken ground on KOFISI Innovation City in Rwanda, a Centre designed to serve one of East Africa’s most exciting and fastest-growing economies.

KOFISI Innovation City will bring the brand’s signature combination of sophisticated design, enterprise-grade infrastructure and vibrant community to Kigali, further cementing the company’s pan-African footprint.

A Network That Spans a Continent  and Beyond

With Centres operating in Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, Morocco, and now Dubai, and with Rwanda on the horizon, KOFISI has built the most expansive network of premium flexible workspaces in Africa.

This network is further strengthened by its strategic partnership with Workshop17, together forming the largest collaborative workspace network across the continent — spanning seven countries and all four regions of Africa.

For Members, this means a consistent, high-quality work environment wherever business takes them.

Recognised on Multiple Fronts

The FT recognition follows a series of prestigious honours that have further cemented KOFISI’s reputation as a category leader. The company has been named Africa’s Best Workplace Operator for three consecutive years at the API Real Estate Summit in Cape Town and its Design Team has been celebrated at the SBID International Office Design Awards for excellence in creating world-class workspace environments.
