Crest Africa has spotlighted its Top 50 Voices in African Tech 2025, now in June 2025, a recognition that shines a light on the individuals reimagining Africa’s digital landscape with innovation, purpose, and long-term impact.

As a pan-African media and impact platform, Crest Africa is on a mission to elevate voices that rarely get centre stage. It creates spaces where grassroots visionaries, ethical disruptors, and mission-driven builders are seen, valued, and validated. From technology to entrepreneurship, from creative industries to sustainability, Crest Africa’s recognition platforms exist to celebrate substance over noise and to amplify those shaping Africa’s trajectory from the inside out.
This spotlight is especially timely. Africa’s tech revolution is no longer waiting to be noticed. It is already in motion. Across the continent, local startups are engineering AI solutions tailored to African contexts. Fintech platforms are transforming how underserved populations save, invest, and transact. Data science is improving agricultural yields, powering logistics, and even influencing public policy. The growth is fast, the impact is real, but the storytellers behind the movement are too often overlooked.

That is what makes the Top 50 Voices in African Tech 2025 so essential. It is more than a title or list. It is a platform for innovators who are defining what technology means for Africa and where it can lead next. These honorees are not simply participating in the digital transformation. They are directing it.
This year’s list features changemakers like Uchenna Victor Moses, whose work in artificial intelligence education and governance is setting new benchmarks for the continent. Muji Bekomson is leading a quiet revolution in women’s health through iLIVE Digital Health. Rukayat Balogun is empowering millions with AI education and ethical innovation through her work in data access, curriculum development, and inclusive tech storytelling. Olorunleke Olorunshola is redefining enterprise systems and digital automation for real-world industries through smart, efficient, and scalable Microsoft-based architecture.

Also featured are Pearl Nwade, a data and analytics engineer powering inclusive fintech solutions, and Dr. Omopeju Afanu, a founder and mentor building impact-led tech ventures that serve both business and community.

Crest Africa’s selection process prioritised vision, originality, and practical outcomes. Each honoree has demonstrated not just promise but proven progress. Their work is expanding what’s possible, creating tools that serve African lives first, and ensuring no one is left behind in the continent’s digital evolution.

The Top 50 Voices in African Tech 2025 is a reminder that African innovation is not just catching up. It is setting new paths, solving local problems with global relevance, and producing leaders who build with intention.
