This marks Remedial Health’s second consecutive year in the top 10, while Africhange and Rank Capital make impressive debuts on the list. All three companies join an elite group of African businesses maintaining high-velocity growth despite global economic headwinds.

Congrats again to these three standout teams and everyone else featured!

Africa’s innovation model is a masterclass in market creation!

Following last week's UK-Nigeria state visit, I shared some insights with @EntrepreneurUK on what the UK business community can learn from the continent's entrepreneurs.

We’re proud to be shortlisted as a finalist at the Strategic Global Awards 2026 in the Integrated Strategic Communication Campaign category - for our work with @remedial_health.

Grateful to help tell the stories of companies building essential infrastructure across Africa.

[Olugbeminiyi Idowu @mr_bemi]

MTN's reported acquisition strategy could be a blueprint for other large African companies.

If more incumbents follow - telcos, banks, logistics networks - Africa could finally unlock the exit flywheel its startup ecosystem needs.

Had a great time with @ugodre of @Nairametrics discussing my journey, the state of healthcare in Nigeria and the mission, vision of Remedial Health.

[Talking Drum Communications @TalkingDrumComm]

Fixing Nigeria’s healthcare supply chain isn’t easy - but it’s essential.

That’s the challenge @remedial_health is taking on.

CEO @sammville spoke to @ugodre about building at scale and serving 14,000+ healthcare providers across Nigeria.

2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for African tech.

After the funding and regulatory resets of 2025, realism is taking hold - less hype, fewer “African scale” narratives, and more market-specific solutions.

The ecosystem isn’t slowing down; it’s sharpening its focus.

[Talking Drum Communications @TalkingDrumComm]

Happy New Year everyone!!

2025 is firmly in the archives — and we’re ready to go again in 2026.

Stay tuned for more compelling innovation stories!!

In 2026, we go again. 🚀

What do #DettyDecember pharmacy data and millennial car loans have in common? They show how African tech companies use data to shape perception - not just report performance.
