Transforming Africa's informal economy through ethical AI and Ubuntu philosophy. From the streets to the suits.
Informal doesn't mean unintelligent. It means unseen, unsupported and undeserved. Afro Ubuntu TradeNet exists to rewrite that story.
We go beyond POS digitisation, embedding AI-driven insight and ethical data practices, into the heart of informal trade. We are Africa-first, committed to digitising and decoding the invisible economy and dignifying trade. We are embedding AI, not to replace, but to reveal the power that lies in the hands of unregistered vendors, bustling dukas and spaza shop owners surviving day to day.
Our vision is to empower informal trade through inclusive, AI-powered infrastructure that is scalable across the continent, and to the world. We unlock credit through contextual data, build trust through transparent sourcing, and foster pan-african collaboration. From WhatsApp messages to credit scores, from inventory snapshots to economic insights. A trade intelligence layer, connecting the African street vendor to global opportunity built on Ubuntu ("I am, because we are").
