Tech in Nigeria isn’t just growing — it’s evolving. Across the country, startups are solving real problems with real impact, from digital payments to health access, logistics, and education.
In 2025, a few names are standing out for doing something different — something innovative.
Here’s a look at some of the most innovative tech startups in Nigeria right now and why they matter.
1. ThriveAgric – Agriculture Meets Fintech
ThriveAgric is helping farmers get access to funding, tools, and markets — all through tech. It uses a digital platform to connect investors with farmers, helping boost food production across Nigeria.
- Raised $56 million in 2022
- Works with over 500,000 farmers
- Focused on solving food insecurity using smart technology
2. Sabi – Powering Nigeria’s Informal Economy
Sabi is like the Amazon for small Nigerian businesses. It provides a platform where informal retailers can buy, sell, and manage inventory.
- Over 300,000 merchants using the platform
- Operates in multiple countries
- Helps traders access credit, logistics, and product data
It’s a game-changer for market women and street sellers who never had access to formal business tools before.
3. Helium Health – The Future of Digital Healthcare
Helium Health is building digital infrastructure for hospitals across Africa. Instead of using paper files, hospitals can manage everything from patient records to billing on one platform.
- Operating in Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya
- Used by over 300 health facilities
- Making healthcare faster, more accurate, and more efficient
With tech like this, long hospital queues might one day become history.
4. Mono – Enabling Open Banking in Nigeria
Mono is changing how Nigerians connect their bank data to financial apps. If you’ve ever linked your bank to a budgeting app, that’s the kind of service Mono provides.
- Powers apps like Carbon, Aella Credit, and PayDay
- Makes financial access easier for developers and users
- Key player in the future of open banking in Nigeria
5. AltSchool Africa – Rethinking Tech Education
AltSchool Africa is teaching coding, product design, and digital skills to thousands of Africans — even if they don’t have a university degree.
- Learn from home using a mobile phone or laptop
- Thousands of students from Nigeria and across Africa
- Built to help young people get remote tech jobs
They’re making it possible to go from “no experience” to “hired” in 12 months or less.
Why These Startups Stand Out
These companies are not just copying foreign ideas — they’re building solutions for Nigeria’s unique problems. They:
- Use mobile-first platforms
- Work around challenges like poor electricity or infrastructure
- Reach people at the grassroots level
- Make profit while driving social impact
