The pan-African technology trust

Unlocking and driving Africa’s digital future

Africa Tech Trust is the missing institutional architecture for Africa’s digital economy — a member-led trust coordinating policy, innovation, capital and knowledge across the continent and its diaspora, with the ATT Foundation as its non-profit arm.

What we do

Delivering as one

Africa has no shortage of innovation — it has a shortage of continental coordination. ATT does not duplicate what African platforms already do; it delivers what the ecosystem is missing.

  1. 01
    Coordinate

    Apex coordination across blocs and platforms — engaged through MoUs, bound to no political mandate.

  2. 02
    Complement

    Never duplicating existing actors — bridging hubs, founders and governments to capital, policy and the diaspora.

  3. 03
    Amplify

    Matching African capital to African innovation, with distributed continental ownership and a non-extractive model.

Phase One

Delivery, worth marking

A 12-month action plan — June 2026 to June 2027 — from registration in Nairobi to the Inaugural Continental Summit.

Presence

Six regions, one trust

West, East, Central, Southern and North Africa — with the Caribbean and Brazil diaspora holding full institutional standing as the sixth region. Fifty-five member states in scope.

Africa has no shortage of innovation. It has a shortage of institutional coordination — ATT exists to close that gap, delivering as one.

Ecosystem

Engaging the continent

ATT complements existing platforms — governments and multilaterals are engaged through MoUs only. The Phase One pipeline spans all six regions.

  • African Union
  • Smart Africa
  • ECOWAS
  • EAC
  • SADC
  • CARICOM
