get started

Africa is undergoing a significant digital revolution.

Itana, as a part of DiFZIN (Initiative for the Promotion of Digital Free Zones In Nigeria), is working with the Federal Government of Nigeria to establish the first Digital Zone in Africa. We're designing the policies and regulatory framework to allow tech and service-based businesses to operate with ease and to scale across the continent.

Traditionally, you must have a physical presence to do business in Africa. With the Itana Zone, we’re building a borderless economy where you can incorporate your business remotely, from anywhere in the world, and talent and capital can combine remarkably.

Shenzhen grew from a small fishing village, expanded 10,000-fold in 40 years to become one of the ten largest economies in the world; Dubai from a desert country to housing over 30 Free Zones, and Delaware from an industrial town to a powerhouse for global business incorporation. Itana is taking learnings, and developing the next E-Estonia, Delaware, and DIFC in Africa.
