& INNOVATES

Africa Creates partnered with SunGrid Africa to design and deploy a 450kW solar-plus-storage microgrid in Kebbi State, Nigeria. The system integrates locally-assembled lithium battery banks (48V/200Ah units) fabricated at our Lagos facility, reducing import costs by 40% versus internationally procured systems.

The microgrid powers 3,200 households, 2 health clinics, 4 schools, and 120 small enterprises. Night-time battery supply runs for 6–8 hours, enabling productive evening hours for businesses, study time for students, and reliable clinical refrigeration for vaccines.

DroneAfrica Technologies and Africa Creates co-built a fleet of 22 octocopter agricultural drones in our Lagos assembly facility. The drones are calibrated for East African altitude and temperature ranges, carrying 16-litre precision spray tanks and multispectral cameras for crop health analysis.

Deployed across Rift Valley rice paddies and maize farms, each drone covers 2–3 hectares per hour. An AI-powered crop health platform analyses multispectral imagery to detect disease, pest, and nutrient stress 2–3 weeks before visible symptoms appear, enabling timely interventions.

Africa Creates designed, supplied, and commissioned a 100 TPD alluvial ilmenite processing plant at a coastal site in Sierra Leone. The plant processes heavy mineral sand deposits using trommel washing, spiral gravity separation, and low-intensity magnetic separation (LIMS) to produce a 45–55% TiO₂ concentrate.

The product is bagged and loaded for export to EU-based titanium dioxide pigment manufacturers and Asian smelters. A community benefit agreement ensures 20% of net profit goes to local infrastructure — schools, water, and roads.

Our Abuja electronics lab produces double-sided and multilayer PCBs up to 4-layer, SMD assembly, and embedded microcontroller systems. Current customers include Nigerian telecom infrastructure suppliers, agricultural IoT device makers, and government metering projects.

AfriMach Engineering Group is West Africa's leading supplier of industrial automation equipment — CNC machining centres, welding robots, precision tooling, and metrology instruments. As a core Africa Creates manufacturing partner, AfriMach supplies and maintains the fabrication equipment at our Lagos and Abuja facilities.

SunGrid Africa deploys solar microgrids, battery storage systems, and pay-as-you-go energy-as-a-service models across 9 African nations. The company co-develops all energy components with Africa Creates, integrating locally-assembled battery banks and control electronics into every project.

PATI is a consortium of 14 African universities and polytechnics providing R&D capability, materials science expertise, metrology services, and a talent pipeline for Africa Creates. PATI trains the engineers, validates the designs, and co-publishes the research that underpins our industrial credibility.

AfriCap Industrial Fund provides CAPEX funding, co-investment capital, and venture catalysis for mineral processing, energy, and manufacturing projects under the ACW-SEDCI umbrella. The fund targets 18–36 month payback industrial projects with African majority ownership.

The National Information Technology Development Agency supports Africa Creates with regulatory frameworks, Made-in-Nigeria certification pathways, technology transfer licensing, and indigenous content verification for all electronics manufactured under the ACW-SEDCI programme.

DroneAfrica Technologies is the continent's specialist UAV manufacturer for African operating conditions — designing drones that handle dust, heat, humidity, rough terrain, and limited connectivity. Their collaboration with Africa Creates produces agricultural, cargo, surveillance, and mapping platforms assembled in Nigeria.

Africa Creates designs and fabricates agricultural machinery and technology systems that cover the entire value chain — from land preparation and planting through harvesting, processing, preservation, and market-readiness. Our machines are built for African soils, climates, crop types, and farmer economic realities.

Key product lines include: automated irrigation systems using solar-powered pumps and drip lines; grain threshers and shellers for maize, rice, sorghum, and millet; compact cassava processing lines (peeling, grating, pressing, frying); cold chain storage units powered by solar; drone fleets for spraying, planting, and yield mapping; and soil IoT sensor networks delivering real-time fertility and moisture data to farmers' phones.

Africa Creates engineers complete mining technology systems — from artisanal-scale hand tools and portable separators to industrial processing plants handling hundreds of tonnes per day. Our flagship ilmenite processing systems (alluvial 100 TPD and ore-grade 20 TPH) are investor-ready and replicable across all African mineral-rich nations.

Beyond ilmenite, our mining technology covers: gold gravity and CIL circuits, coltan concentration, bauxite washing, limestone crushing and grinding, gypsum processing, and artisanal miner safety and productivity tools. AI-powered ore-grade prediction reduces test drilling costs by up to 60%.

Africa Creates provides manufacturing technology support systems to African factories — helping them improve throughput, quality, and energy efficiency. From supplying and commissioning CNC machining centres to deploying full robotic assembly lines, we make African manufacturing globally competitive.

Services include: equipment procurement and commissioning, production line layout design, quality management system (ISO 9001) implementation support, energy audit and retrofit, operator training, and ongoing maintenance contracts. We also supply local-made 3D printers, laser cutters, and plasma cutters calibrated for African power supply conditions.

Africa Creates develops indigenous security technology — surveillance UAVs, smart camera networks with AI analytics, biometric access systems, perimeter intrusion detection, and integrated command-and-control platforms. All systems are designed for African network bandwidth constraints, power supply variability, and operational environments.

Applications include: border surveillance, oil pipeline protection, mining site security, school and hospital facility protection, market/crowd management, and government building access control. All data stays within-country — no external cloud dependency.

Africa Creates is developing an ecosystem of transportation technology solutions designed for African road conditions, traffic patterns, and economic realities. Electric vehicle conversion kits allow existing petrol motorcycles and tricycles (keke napep / bajaj) to be converted to electric drive for a fraction of the cost of new EVs.

Logistics technology includes fleet management with GPS and telematics, cargo monitoring sensors, cross-border documentation digitisation, and smart traffic control systems for city intersections. Our last-mile delivery drone system is operational in two Nigerian cities, delivering medicines and small packages within 15-minute windows.

Africa Creates provides construction technology support systems that dramatically reduce the cost and time of building in Africa. Our locally-fabricated brick and block making machines produce compressed earth or cement blocks at 10x the rate of manual production, enabling affordable housing at scale.

Other offerings: site survey drones with photogrammetry for precise earthwork calculations; automated concrete mixing and pouring systems; 3D-printed construction elements for affordable housing; safety wearables and site hazard sensors; and building information modelling (BIM) adoption support for African contractors.

Africa Creates deploys cross-sector production enhancement technology that lifts productivity, reduces waste, and cuts energy costs in any production environment. From a small bottling plant to a large textile mill, our technology package can be applied to audit, optimise, and automate operations.

Core tools include: IoT sensor networks for real-time machine health monitoring; AI-powered production scheduling; power factor correction systems reducing electricity bills by 15–30%; compressed air efficiency audits; lean production training and floor layout optimisation; and SCADA control system integration for unified plant visibility.

Africa Creates designs affordable home technology that transforms daily life for African families — without requiring grid electricity or expensive imports. Our solar home systems power phones, fans, lights, and small appliances for under $150. Clean biomass cookstoves reduce indoor air pollution by 80% while cutting firewood use in half.

Water purification units using UV and ceramic filtration provide clean drinking water without chemicals or electricity. Smart home kits provide basic automation — remote-controlled door locks, lighting, and security cameras — for modest homes using mobile phone control. All products are locally assembled using African materials where possible.

The backbone of African daily commerce is the informal economy — mosee (mama put) food sellers, roadside chefs, carpenter and woodworking artisans, vulcanisers (tyre repair), roadside mechanics, tailors, and market traders. Africa Creates develops affordable technology tailored exactly to their needs.

For the mosee and food sellers: efficient LPG-powered high-BTU burners, solar-powered food warmers, compact food processing machines (blenders, grinders, slicers) for roadside use, and digital ordering/payment kiosks powered by solar. For woodworkers and carpenters: compact electric planers, saws, and routers running on locally-rechargeable battery packs. For vulcanisers: automated tyre inflation rigs, balancing machines, and diagnostic tools at affordable Nigerian prices. For mechanics: diagnostic OBD readers for modern vehicles, affordable hydraulic jacks, and engine analysis tools.
