La Turbine, an incubator and accelerator based in Mauritius, has welcomed Ascencia to its list of partners. Ascencia, a leading player in the commercial real estate sector, has been sponsoring La Turbine since October 9, 2023, marking a significant milestone in supporting local entrepreneurship and sustainable innovation. This support enables La Turbine to strengthen its programs and services for entrepreneurs, furthering its mission to promote entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainable development in Mauritius and the Indian Ocean region.

This strategic partnership between Ascencia and La Turbine demonstrates the commitment to fostering collaborations between the commercial real estate sector and entrepreneurship. Diane Maigrot, CEO of La Turbine, expressed excitement about this partnership, emphasising the opportunities it presents for startups and the potential for innovative solutions that benefit all stakeholders.

The collaboration between Ascencia and La Turbine is not new. In the past, they have worked together on initiatives like the B'Local by Ascencia initiative, which supported Mauritian entrepreneurs in developing innovative solutions to enhance the customer experience in malls and improve operational efficiency. This collaboration has already generated successful outcomes, including implementing digital solutions.

Ascencia's support for startups goes beyond sponsorship. The company's mall management team actively engages with entrepreneurs, providing crucial validation and market access support. Ascencia believes in the entrepreneurial spirit of Mauritians and aims to play an active role in supporting local projects that are bold and promising.

As part of the partnership, Ascencia will offer entrepreneurs incubated by La Turbine the opportunity to showcase their products and services in its seven malls, providing them with visibility among a diverse audience and the opportunity to test their products directly with consumers. This initiative aligns with Ascencia's commitment to promoting local businesses and providing them with opportunities for growth and expansion.
