Nigeria has the highest number of internet users in Africa. However, internet infrastructure within urban environments remains a challenge in the country and the continent which makes connectivity poor and internet overly expensive. wifi.com.ng is leveraging the large wireless capacity available with wi-fi and plummeting cost of solar panels to create a low CAPEX/OPEX network of owned & operated towers to offer disruptive, customer-friendly pricing for unlimited internet.

Food production is a huge problem across Africa, Nigeria farms less than 20% of its arable land and produces less than 20% of the food it consumes.
              3 major problems affect smallholder farmers who constitute a bulk of the farming population: they can’t afford to finance increased production on their farms, they get poor yields from existing farms, largely due to lack of requisite tools and inputs and poor access to the market.
              Thrive Agric enables individuals (subscribers) across Nigeria to contribute to the food production process by committing their funds to Thrive Agric, who in turn deploy these funds to farmers across various communities to help them scale and modernize their farming operations. They provide farmers tools, best practices, equip them with extension services and farm advisory, this leads to higher yields and has increased farmer earnings 3X.
              Upon harvest, Thrive Agric sells produce to existing off-takers. Farmers, Thrive Agric, and subscribers all share in the upside. Currently, subscribers enjoy a 15-30% return on their investments over a 3-9-month period. All farms are fully insured.

ccess to affordable health coverage is out of the reach of lots of Africans. Less than 10% of the African population have any form of health insurance coverage.

Many hospitals in Africa lack basic equipment because they simply cannot afford it. We constantly hear stories of people dying in hospitals not because they were chronically ill but because the hospital lacked the necessary infrastructure to properly treat the patients.  In comes Medical Devices As a Service (MDaaS), the startup that’s providing affordable and high-quality healthcare infrastructure to clinically underserved Africans. They have built a network of private diagnostic and primary healthcare centers that offers radiology, cardiology, and lab services across Nigeria first, with the plans to expand to other parts of the continent. By introducing software, being smarter about process design, investing heavily in an integrated supply chain, and sharing resources across locations, MDaaS has significantly dropped the cost of setting up and operating each center.

In Nigeria, it is not unusual for families to care for elderly relatives at home despite the specialized healthcare needs associated with aging. However, harsh economic conditions and urbanization are sending more working-class Nigerians farther away from home.
              GeroCare is an affordable subscription-based medical service for the elderly that entitles them to regular doctor home visits. The service advocates preventive healthcare for the elderly as opposed to waiting until something goes wrong. Loved ones can provide access to regular medical care for their aging parents or family in Nigeria irrespective of where they live or work.

The educational system across Africa is fundamentally broken. The traditional classroom system does not give the required one-on-one attention to individual learners. Students are grouped together and taught in the same manner irrespective of their individual needs and most times by incompetent teachers.
              ProTeach personalizes learning, by using technology to identify learning patterns of students and also teaching a pattern of tutors, then match students to expert and verified tutors who teach in their learning pattern. Students move two grades up after meeting a ProTeach tutor within 3-6 months.

Building a home is very very very expensive. In most cases, you have to deposit a large sum for the land before you can commence building. We see many incomplete buildings because a lot of people are forced to halt the building process due to a lack of funds. Homes that can be built in less than a year are being built for very long periods.
              Co-BuildIT devised an innovative way to give people the opportunity to build the homes of their dreams in no time. They essentially bring investors together to co-build a home at a dramatically reduced cost while the home buyer pays conveniently over an agreed period.
