Introducing the Itana 100

November 15, 2023

We’re thrilled to announce, and invite you to join the Itana 100 — an exclusive group of a hundred companies that will shape the founding policies and framework of free zone operations for digital businesses on the African continent.

Itana is a key stakeholder in the Initiative for the Promotion of Digital Free Zones In Nigeria (DiFZIN), and we’re collaborating with the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Nigeria Export Processing Zone Authority, to establish the first Digital Zone in Africa. The goal is ambitious yet straightforward; to design policies and a regulatory framework that empowers tech and service-based businesses to operate seamlessly and scale across the continent.

Africa is at the forefront of a digital revolution

Africa is at the forefront of a digital revolution, and Itana is leading the charge with a vision to unlock the potential of the digital economy.

Traditionally, businesses faced the challenge of establishing a physical presence in every country they expanded into. However, with the Itana Free Zone, we are breaking down these barriers, creating a borderless economy where talent and capital can flourish in Africa, from any part of the world.

Taking inspiration from global success stories like Shenzhen, Dubai, and Delaware, Itana aims to develop the next E-Estonia, Delaware, and DIFC in Africa.
