The Foundry
From consumers to creators — we are building a manufacturing ecosystem that drives innovation, expertise, and opportunity across Africa.
Electronics Assembly
We operate advanced facilities focused on assembling modern electronics such as smartphones, computers, and consumer devices. Our approach brings manufacturing jobs back to Africa and fosters technical excellence from the ground up.
Indigenous Technology Solutions
We design and develop hardware solutions that are purpose‑built for African conditions, including:
- Resilient, low‑power devices
- Solar‑integrated systems
- Rugged equipment built to perform in challenging environments
These technologies support local needs while competing on a global stage.
Skills & Workforce Development
Every production line is also a learning environment. We train and mentor the next generation of engineers, technicians, and innovators so that technical mastery becomes a core strength of the continent's workforce.
When people work and build together, they gain the knowledge and confidence to push boundaries and create new solutions.
Product Lines
Our core technology and manufacturing focus includes:
- Smartphones and tablets
- Laptops and desktop systems
- Solar power systems and energy‑resilient devices
- Internet‑connected hardware (IoT devices) designed for local needs
These product lines are selected to build skills, grow capability, and meet real community needs while integrating into global supply chains.
Employment and Economic Impact
The Foundry is a major job creator. In its first phase alone, we are creating over 10,000 high‑skill manufacturing jobs, with plans to expand that number significantly. These roles are not just employment opportunities — they are pathways to technical expertise, career growth, and long‑term economic participation.
