Our story

Our model is based on matching opportunities with needs through partnerships. We work with local groups to find out their needs and we partner with groups that will fund or provide resources to fulfill those needs.

SIA-Africa creates a database and develops alliances with industry experts to drive action through its unique model to support education, healthcare, agricultural and construction projects. Rather than directly implementing projects, SIA-Africa facilitates action by helping members connect, collaborate, and make effective and measurable commitments to action. 

 When we started in 2011 we were committed to using existing technology to conduct business virtually. We were determined to facilitate delivery of impact investments by advocating for tech inspired power energy and connectivity infrastructure in Africa as the path to the development of environmentally sustainable well planned smart cities that was going to produce solution driven innovative students who believed in the concepts of distance virtual learning and remote working, as a means to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from road transport.

our team

SIA-Africa was founded in 2011 by Nene Kodjoe. Our diverse team brings creativity and passion to help mobilize innovation in business , Trade, Impact investments, Technology and education, and deliver sustainable infrastructure, strategic investment and good governance in specific communities across Africa.
