BUILD SCITECH began in 2022 at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana — a group of students who believed the technology shaping the future should be built here, by people who understand the problems firsthand.
What started as a community became a company: building software and emerging technologies, developing technical talent, backing startups and communities, and turning research into real-world impact.
Today we ship products used across the continent — and we're still driven by the same belief that started it all.
