Who we are
TECKONSEILS-SA is a pan-African advisory firm specialising in innovation and digital transformation, founded in Mali and now operating across West Africa.
We support governments, public agencies, international financial institutions and technical partners in designing and delivering high-impact strategies for innovation, entrepreneurship and digitalisation. Our role: turning political and institutional ambition into operational, measurable and lasting programmes.
Since our founding, we have built recognised expertise in incubation, startup acceleration, artificial intelligence applied to development, and the delivery of national and regional programmes.
Eight years of continuous delivery of entrepreneurship and innovation programmes across West Africa.
An operational regional consortium able to coordinate programmes across several countries simultaneously.
A public-limited-company structure, rigorous reporting and systematic monitoring and evaluation.
Artificial intelligence integrated as a cross-cutting theme across all our sector programmes.
Direct partnerships with Mali's highest economic and digital authorities.
A clear trajectory from national to regional, and on to continental scale.

2020 – 2021
Launched in 2020 at the Hôtel de l'Amitié in Bamako, the STARTUP'ELLE pitch competition drew the country's highest economic authorities from its very first edition. The 2021 edition brought together ten finalists from ten different sectors — green energy, nutrition, mobility, beauty — and 397 participants out of 500 invitations issued, under extensive national media coverage.
2026
Led by a proven tripartite consortium — TECKONSEILS-SA (Mali), CIPMEN (Niger) and La Fabrique (Burkina Faso) — this regional edition aims to reach more than 20,000 women and produce 9 regional finalists through an eight-stage journey, culminating in the final at the Bamako International Conference Centre.
In development
Facing the dual challenge of irregular emigration and unstructured return migration, TECKONSEILS designed AfreeBack: a pan-African programme structuring the return and economic reintegration of migrants, and mobilising the diaspora as investors, mentors and technical partners — now under discussion with the International Organization for Migration.

What we learn in the field, shared with the ecosystem.
Mastering your infrastructure and your data serves no purpose if the administration cannot operate them without an external provider. The third pillar is the most overlooked.

Consolidate a model in one country, document it rigorously, then deploy it through a consortium. The method sounds obvious; it is rarely followed.
