Innovation to Market. Africa
We co-create scalable solutions with innovators to drive real impact for Africa. Our work in digital innovation intersects finance and the digital economy, spanning sectors such as agriculture, entrepreneurship, health, energy, climate, and beyond.
Ultimately, we create innovative financial solutions that balance commercial viability with social impact, driving economic inclusion, financial resilience, and sustainable development.
Our approach to turning insights into impact is insights-driven and economics-based, combining user-centered design, thematic research, strategic facilitation, and technical assistance. Here is what we do:
Whether designing new digital solutions or optimising existing ones, user-centered design has wide-ranging benefits in product development, skills building, and policy action design.
Our services: design research, prototype testing, facilitation of the product development process, business design, technical assistance for go-to-market strategy, and pilot implementation and evaluation.
Insights-driven approaches to inclusive finance, business strategy, and policy formulation can create opportunities for consumers, build stronger markets, and enable more inclusive growth. Over the last decade, our cross-country research has informed practice and contributed thought leadership through topical publications.
Research themes: payments and remittances, digital economy, financial inclusion, rural and agrifinance, climate finance, renewable energy, and women & youth inclusion, among others.
Digital transformation is more than going digital. It is about redefining how institutions create value requiring new strategy, product innovation, systemic change, and the power of data-driven market intelligence.
Our services: digital transformation strategy creation, process re-engineering, data analytics, partnerships innovation, and capacity building.
We create lasting social impact by developing toolkits and playbooks that extend beyond consultancy engagements. Through co-designed technical assistance and training, we blend our expertise with local knowledge to deliver sustainable solutions.
Technical assistance & training areas: Human-Centered Design, sprint design, and co-creation skills; product development, data and evaluation, and institutional governance.
