Data Science
Artificial Intelligence
Blockchain
Data science can help businesses to analyze their data to identify patterns and trends, gain insights about customer behavior, and make data-driven decisions that can improve operations, increase revenue, and reduce costs.
Artificial intelligence enables machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as recognizing speech, understanding images, and making decisions.
Blockchain is a technology that enables secure and transparent transactions and data sharing across a network of users without the need for a central authority, which can be applied to a wide range of industries, notably supply chain management.
IoT & Robotics
Augmented Reality
Virtual Reality
IoT (Internet of Things) and Robotics can improve efficiency and convenience in daily life by connecting devices to the internet and enabling them to communicate and perform tasks automatically, such as controlling home appliances or performing repetitive tasks for example in manufacturing or healthcare.
Augmented reality enhances our perception of reality by overlaying digital information onto the physical world, which can be used to provide interactive and immersive experiences in entertainment, education, and various industries such as retail and tourism.
Virtual reality can create a fully immersive and interactive digital world that can be accessed by multiple users at the same time – this simulated environment can be used to provide realistic experiences in entertainment as well as education where it can enhance training, visualization, and communication.

“Don’t let a lack of knowledge and expertise stand in the way of your future.”
What we do
Our approach
To bridge the gap between possibility and reality, we develop both the talent and create the market by supporting startups and corporates to create innovative solutions; making it possible for everyone, everywhere to benefit from the opportunities the future holds starting in the now.
Education
Developing emerging tech solutions requires skilled talent with the knowledge and curiosity to explore the unknown. To challenge talent, we create a tech-quest track for tech enthusiasts to take themselves to the next level of learning and doing.
For companies, recruiting talent can turn out to become a hit and miss, especially in emerging technology. To fast-track the up-skilling of employees and talent overall, we have partnered with renowned universities worldwide to bring their online degree programs in for example Data Science and Artificial Intelligence to students across (East) Africa.
Business transformation
We are living in exciting times. Technological Innovations are changing the way how we live, connect and do business. Digital transformation can seem a daunting task though when you don’t know where to begin.
Most likely though you and your company are more ready than you think – we help you assess your business and identify the gaps between the now and the future and as your true business partner, we tailor make programs supporting you with knowledge, frameworks and project management to make your ambition a reality.
Let us not waste this chance. Let’s lead the way and leapfrog together.
Staffing
Up-skilling the knowledge in your organisation is in good hands with us. Expand your team with qualified employees shaping your technological transformation.
No need to spend your limited budget on a full blown high-tech in-house organisation. Simply let us know what you need and we build your capacity & capabilities with and for you, leveraging our knowledge and expertise to deliver your results.

About us
Our inspiration
We’re at the start of the 4th Industrial Revolution making waves all across the world, no country or continent excepted. Everyone is innovating around emerging technologies and finding new and exciting applications for it.
We’re on a mission to make emerging technologies and their adoption in Africa the next big thing: we believe emerging technologies have the potential to transform various aspects of our lives and will support in making the continent leapfrog traditional development paths.
Africa will be able to catch up with the rest of the world if not overtake it as it’s the continent of youth and the future.
Whereas today many African countries are still struggling with outdated infrastructure, limited access to capital, and a lack of skilled labor which makes it challenging to compete in the global economy, by embracing emerging technologies, Africa has the potential to create new industries, disrupt existing ones, and transform its economy.
It is essential for Africa to be part of this global transformation.
