Norrsken House Kigali is built on the former historic Ecole Belge, located right in downtown Kigali. It consists of repurposed classrooms, as well as a main building, which together form the largest hub for entrepreneurship on the continent. The place where you spend most of your time needs to be functional, adaptable and, not least, beautiful. That's why we've poured our hearts into making this a space that you'll want to come back to every morning.

“Working at Norrsken has truly been life-changing. We have a great work environment and introduced our team to a whole world of opportunities and connections. Many of our fellow start-ups have proved to be great potential customers and vice versa.”

“The space is built with the entrepreneurship culture in mind, the local and international network, the internet speed, the vibe, the location, and more are just perfect. Even when you’re down, the next person wakes your spirit. We love it at Norrsken House.”
“Being new to Rwanda, the need to know people and build a network was of paramount importance and Norrsken has seamlessly made this possible. Be it the amazing member community or weekly business events held on the campus, I have broadened my network.”

The Norrsken pergola is our biggest outdoor event space, comfortably fitting up to 200 people. Though outdoors, it is covered on top to protect your events from the elements. Put formal seating, presentation style, or open up the space for mingling with cocktail tables.
The event flex is currently our biggest indoor event space, seating up to 60 people. Our flex space is perfect for small, intimate events such as lunches, panels or Ted talks or a workshop room. When you rent the space, it comes with an 80 inch TV screen & whiteboards.
Worried about events during the rainy season? Don’t be! Town hall is our biggest indoor event space, seating up to 175 people. It’s perfect for larger conferences (or parties!). Located in our main building, this space will be available for rent this fall!
Every month our house hosts many of the city’s best events. Some of them are Norrsken events, such as afterworks, lunch & learns, or business panels, while many others are hosted by members, partners and external organizations looking for a world-class space they know will draw attention.
