Who We Are
Turn your
ideas into innovation.
We are committed to creating sustainable and inclusive market innovations…
As the Fourth Industrial Revolution advances in high-income economies, many African countries are still trying to move from agriculture and mineral extraction to manufacturing and digitalization.
Most of the technologies deployed across the continent to manage organizational change are built and supplied by international players for international markets.
The African market often comes as an after-thought, and as such, technology services fail to capture the full scope of change that is required to overcome local challenges, and to provide long term perspectives on future growth opportunities. This is especially important as governments and companies work to tackle the digital divide by incorporating technology in its internal and external organizational processes.
Our company and its people are committed to investing in market-creating innovations that create impact at scale across Sub-Saharan Africa, by adopting a very localized approach to building, designing, financing, and operating digital transformations.
We are engaged in building Africa’s intellectual property and digital capital by identifying and repurposing some of the world’s existing technologies and resources to the needs and realities of continent’s business and social contexts.
We believe that Africa’s development challenges can best be overcome by bringing together talent, purpose, diversity, and work ethic, and by combining the private sector resources with Governments’ ability to enable mass adoption and long-term inclusive change through well-guided policy action.
