To encourage early participation, Afrik is offering an exclusive incentive. During the launch period, throughout June, individuals who register on www.afrik.info will be eligible to receive one Afrik token, allowing them to engage with and benefit from the platform’s ecosystem from day one.
Africa holds 30% of the world’s mineral resources, vast renewable energy potential, and a young, growing workforce. The value of Africa’s green minerals and environmental services to the world far outweighs its indebtedness. Africa’s renewable energy potential is 50 times greater than the projected electricity demand for the entire planet in 2040.
“Fragmented currency sovereignty has left Africa poorer, locking its economies in a cycle of debt and depreciation. The Afrik is designed to re-establish economic balance, enabling Africa to trade on its true value,” says Jean-Marc Bourreau, Government policy advisor and co-founder of Afrik. “Africa holds the key to global sustainability in the 4th Industrial Age. Representing a move beyond the outdated model of extractive economies, the Afrik seeks to unlock capital to supercharge green innovation and energy projects, giving African nationals financial leverage in global markets and driving prosperity through enabling better transparency/security in investments.”
Traditional financial systems have failed to mobilize capital at the scale and speed required to drive sustainable development. Afrik addresses this challenge by providing a decentralized, transparent funding mechanism that allows direct participation in Africa’s economic growth without reliance on unstable local currencies or foreign debt.
“Africa’s economic potential has long been constrained by financial models that do not serve its needs,” said Bourreau. “Afrik offers a practical, technology-driven alternative that ensures funding for AI, infrastructure, and green energy flows efficiently to the projects that need it most.
Mobile money from telecom companies had a tremendous impact on the ease of transacting within individual African countries, however its impact on poverty alleviation and local inflation is negligible. Afrik provides a framework that enables communities, businesses, and institutions to contribute to and benefit from Africa’s economic transformation. The tool is designed to:
- Fund AI development by supporting decentralized AI research and infrastructure.
- Support green energy projects by financing solar, wind, and hydroelectric initiatives to power Africa’s industries.
- Promote financial inclusion by allowing direct, borderless participation in funding projects.
- Enable cross-border economic collaboration by providing a common funding mechanism that engages businesses, investors, and the African diaspora.
African economies are often constrained by reliance on foreign-denominated debt, volatile local currencies, and limited access to global capital. More than 70% of Africa’s sovereign debt is in US dollars, weakening financial sovereignty and increasing repayment burdens as local currencies depreciate. Afrik offers an alternative by enabling funding in a digital asset that is globally tradable, helping African nations, businesses, and individuals finance projects without dependency on external financial institutions.
With smart contracts ensuring direct allocation of funds, Afrik removes barriers to growth and supports Africa’s shift toward self-sufficiency and sustainability. By leveraging Africa’s vast renewable energy potential, estimated to be 50 times greater than projected global electricity demand for 2040, Afrik provides a tool that supports green innovation and industrial development at scale.
“Africa must own its digital and economic transformation,” Bourreau adds. “Afrik is not just a financial platform; it is a mechanism for empowering Africa to lead in AI, infrastructure, and sustainable energy development, ensuring that the value created on the continent benefits its people.”
