The Westerwelle Foundation is a non-profit organization focused on empowering entrepreneurs in emerging markets through startup hubs and support programmes. The foundation was established in 2013 by the former German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle and entrepreneur Ralph Dommermuth.

Through the startup hubs and programmes, the Westerwelle Foundation assists young entrepreneurs who contribute to social, economic, and ecological development in their communities. Activities include managing co-working spaces, mentorship, workshops, networking events, and financial support to foster business creation and growth.

Headquartered in Berlin, the Westerwelle Foundation has branches in Tunis (Tunisia), Kigali (Rwanda), Arusha (Tanzania), and soon in Mombasa (Kenya). Currently, the Westerwelle Foundation employs 24 staff, including 18 African nationals and 16 women.
