As a continent, Africa is contributing its fair share of exciting businesses to the world of tech. Indeed, as infrastructure grows, more and more startups are appearing and the future looks exciting, not only for African developers but for the global stage that will benefit from the innovation and design produced as a result.
Joel Syder |
Here are 10 tech startups (in no particular order) that are already making waves in Africa and beyond.
Flutterwave is a payments platform that lays claim to being the Stripe of the African continent, and with a potential 1.2 billion users, that’s a huge opportunity right there. Flutterwave’s innovation API allows users to make customised payment solutions and goes beyond into expenses management systems.
The premise of Flutterwave is to connect Africa to the global payments economy, thus supporting the development of businesses across the continent too. “Not only is Flutterwave already an exciting startup in its own right, it promises to facilitate the growth of startup business across the African continent,” adds Peter Ntini, a software developer at WritemyX and BritStudent.
Nigerian startup, Printivo is a print design and product provider, delivering everything from business cards to printed clothing and brochures. Although not a unique market space, Printivo’s professional and speedy service has already catapulted the company ahead of customers, and the business looks set to cement its reputation in the huge economy of Nigerian, but then the rest of West Africa and beyond.
Kenyan company, Twiga has been around since 2014 and is already transforming the lives of farmers and food producers in the East African country – with the potential to develop its service into the rest of the continent. The aim is to provide the infrastructure which sees farming produce find its way into a safe and secure marketplace, protecting both the farmers and growers themselves, but the end customers who can be guaranteed the quality for the produce they are buying. With agricultural supporting the lives of so many people in Africa, this truly has the potential to develop the economic outlook for an entire continent.
Another Nairobi-based business, flare provides a software solution for emergency response and transfer units such as the police and ambulance services. Not only does it offer real-time tracking options, but also provides a detailed and innovative reporting system which is also beneficial for private sector companies.
Transportation is a major issue on the Africa continent for a variety of reasons. Egyptian company Halan is helping solve the transportation issue in Egypt and Sudan by offering motorcycle and tuk-tuk hailing services, filling the on-demand niche that was previously missing. The business has already received funding which promises to accelerate its growth, and with huge potential, this could be a model that is developed soon over the continent.
South Africa’s FinChatBot is an AI-powered tool which seeks to communicate with and acquire customers for financial services providers. The company has been focusing on its home market. To date, the startup has succeeded in securing funding from venture capital firms to secure its future growth, potentially into other markets across the African continent.
This Angolan business is truly providing a service lacking from the lives of the majority of Africans – information about access to local healthcare providers.
Not only does Appy Saude provide information regarding what is available and where, but it also details specialisations and even what types of insurance covers are accepted, allowing Angolans to make quick healthcare choices in their time of need. “With healthcare a major concern across Africa, this app is set to revolutionise the lives of everyday Africans, and is a perfect example of how tech and creativity can be combined to make normal people’s lives better,” says Joshua Charles, a startup consultant at 1day2write and NextCoursework.
Vizibiliti Insight is another South African AI-powered tool which is able to screen future tenants to properties and predict their possibility of defaulting on payments. The company’s innovative and user-friendly approach has already seen it pick up a number of awards, and its model promises to be an attractive proposition across Africa. .
CowTribe, a Nigerian startup is one of many helping the huge marketplace of African farmers – this time to access affordable vaccinations from regulated providers. The agritech sector is one of the fastest developing sectors in Africa with many Africans making their living this way. This is yet another example of how farmer experiences are being improved tech.
This Malian business and the app it has developed is promising to change lives through the mapping and identification of problems with water supplies, including hygiene risks and sanitation issues in real time with its urban mapping tool. Shortlisted for the #Africa4Future Accelerator Programme, this is another business seeking success through the transformation of living conditions for everyday Africans.
This truly is the tip of the iceberg, with so many African startups deserving of a place on this list. This is an exciting time for African business, and as can be seen, it already starting to change lives for the better through the smart application of tech.

Police in the Free State are on the hunt for a suspect with half a nose after it was bitten off by a security guard during a scuffle at a church in QwaQwa.
Spokesperson Sergeant Mmako Mophiring told News24 two suspects had attempted to burgle the place of worship in the early hours of Saturday morning when they were spotted by the security guard who was employed by the church following a spate of thefts of its microphones and sound equipment.
A scuffle broke out with one of the suspects, during which his accomplice fled.
“The security guard and the burglar wrestled and the guard bit off part of his nose, which fell to the ground,” he said.
“The suspect also bit the guard’s finger but didn’t pierce his skin.”
The bleeding suspect then fled the scene.
Mophiring said the police were in contact with local health facilities, hoping that the suspect would seek medical help for his injury, as was the case last week when an alleged rapist was nabbed at a hospital where he sought treatment for a bloodied mouth.
The suspect allegedly broke into a single mother’s home in Makwane in the early hours of the morning and raped the woman as well as her two children aged 1 and 5, Mophiring said.
During the attack on the mother, he attempted to kiss her, and she bit his lower lip.
“He was in pain and bled profusely. He went to a local hospital for assistance an hour after the attack, and although he gave a false name and details, he was arrested on three counts of rape.”
Suspected of being a serial rapist, the police were in the process of trying to link him to other cases, Mophiring confirmed.

Cape Town – Bulls head coach Pote Human is lamenting the departure of several high profile players from the franchise.
The Pretoria-based outfit will see a number of individuals leave for pastures new in Europe and Japan, including Handre Pollard, Jesse Kriel, Lood de Jager, RG Snyman and Duane Vermeulen.
It is a blow for a side that enjoyed an improved 2019 after they reached the Super Rugby quarter-finals following a fifth place finish in the regular season.
They eventually went down to the Hurricanes in Wellington, but the visitors gave the 2016 champions a scare before eventually succumbing 35-28.
Their positive campaign should have given them something to build on for next season, but Human insists that it may not be possible to compete with the top teams in the competition in 2020.
“Ten of the guys are leaving us after (the quarter-final defeat), so we’re going to struggle next year I think,” he told reporters.
“For me personally, it’s very disappointing because it’s my first year as head coach of the Bulls and I really thought if we could keep this team for another two years it would be great, but unfortunately that’s not the case.”
The financial lure of Europe and Japan is a problem throughout the southern hemisphere but it is a particular issue for South African sides, according to Human.
“Definitely it is a concern in South Africa,” he said. “The weak rand means we can’t keep hold of the money. It’s just impossible for us to try to keep the guys. It’s unfortunate.
“We will have to look at it. It’s really difficult. They stopped the Bok contracts, so it’s all through the franchises now to try and keep the guys, but the money is just too big in Japan and Europe.”
One positive for Human was the performance of wing Cornal Hendricks, who has impressed this season after a three-year absence because of a heart condition, and the Bulls head coach believes that he is good enough to return to the international fold.
He added: “He is hitting form now. Maybe Rassie (Erasmus) can use him. He showed he can compete at this level.”
A combination of depression and genetic risk may fuel an addiction to indoor tanning.
That’s the conclusion of a new study out of Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center in Washington, D.C.
Mutations in genes
For the study, researchers surveyed nearly 300 women who used indoor tanning beds, sunlamps or sun booths, and analysed DNA samples. The women were white and between 18 and 30 years of age.
The risk of tanning addiction doubled in those who had mutations in genes related to dopamine activity; dopamine is key to the brain’s pleasure and reward system. Those mutations, coupled with others linked to depression, increased the risk of tanning addiction by up to 13 times.
“By demonstrating that genes in behavioural reward pathways are associated with tanning addiction, we are providing stronger evidence that tanning addiction is a cancer risk behaviour in need of intervention,” lead author Darren Mays said in a Georgetown news release. “This finding adds to a growing body of evidence from animal studies and neuroimaging studies that have been done in humans.”
Deadly melanoma
Mays is an associate professor of oncology. He’s now beginning a study into the use of text messages as a way to help young women quit if they are addicted to tanning.
Exposure to ultraviolet light can cause skin cancers, including deadly melanoma. Indoor tanning accounts for 10% of skin cancers, and this year nearly 100 000 Americans will be diagnosed with melanoma.
The report was published online in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine.
