Impact
We measure the value created for territories, not the number of sign-ups.
About MASS Connection
Our mission: transforming African territories through collaboration
MASS Connection is the permanent digital extension of the African Market for Space Solutions. The platform brings together public actors, companies, experts and funders to build lasting, high-impact projects.
Our values
Principles that guide every decision we make in the service of Africa.
Collaboration
The best projects come from balanced partnerships between complementary actors.
Transparency
Clear processes, justified decisions and recommendations that can always be explained.
Innovation
Technology and space data put to work for better decisions.
Inclusiveness
The same opportunities for every actor, whatever their size.
What the platform illustrates
Three typical scenes, with demonstration content, to ground the mission in concrete situations.
Demonstration figures
Urban infrastructure
Connect a local authority facing climate risk with GIS solutions and aligned funders.
Structured partnerships
Move from an annual gathering to continuous follow-up: consented requests, messaging and pipeline.
Productive territories
Qualify an agricultural or water need before seeking funding, to speed up decisions.

Born from the will to build a lasting bridge between the needs of African territories and the innovative solutions available.

2025
MASS Connection is designed together with stakeholders across the continent.

The platform launches and opens progressively to the pan-African ecosystem.
