Crest Africa has officially announced its Top 50 Voices in African Tech 2025 now in June 2025, a powerful recognition of the innovators, builders, and thought leaders shaping the continent’s digital future.
The announcement reflects Crest Africa’s mission as a pan-African media and impact platform dedicated to elevating overlooked yet impactful voices. Through its recognition platforms, Crest Africa celebrates purpose-driven changemakers who are creating lasting, measurable impact across Africa’s key industries and innovation spaces. Whether spotlighting grassroots creators or global disruptors, Crest Africa offers a space where substance is seen, vision is honored, and results are recognized.
This mission is especially important in the fast-moving world of African tech. Across the continent, technology is not only catching up with global trends but setting new standards. Fintech startups are expanding financial inclusion for underserved communities. Artificial intelligence is being used to enhance healthcare, education, agriculture, and even public governance. Data science is helping policymakers and entrepreneurs make smarter decisions. From Lagos to Kigali, Nairobi to Johannesburg, Africa’s digital momentum is undeniable. Yet, the individuals powering this transformation are too often overlooked, their contributions hidden behind products and platforms.
That is what makes the Top 50 Voices in African Tech 2025 so significant. It is more than a list. It is a platform for visibility, recognition, and inspiration. These 50 honorees are not just names in the tech space. They are architects of change who are building tools, systems, and ecosystems that reflect Africa’s needs, solve local challenges, and scale beyond borders.
Among this year’s honorees is Uchenna Victor Moses, an AI educator and policy advocate whose work bridges African innovation with global standards. Muji Bekomson, founder of iLIVE Digital Health, is leading a human-centered approach to women’s healthcare using technology. Rukayat Balogun, co-author of the AI Global Manual and founder of Lunddr, is driving ethical, inclusive tech education across Nigeria through mass AI literacy and media outreach. Olorunleke Olorunshola is helping organizations across sectors transform their operations through data-driven enterprise systems built on the Microsoft Power Platform.
The list also includes Dr. Omopeju Afanu, who leads two impact-driven startups while mentoring the next generation of African tech professionals, and Pearl Nwade, who is shaping fintech through clean data strategies and business intelligence. These individuals, along with dozens of others, embody the depth, purpose, and resilience that define Africa’s digital future.
Crest Africa’s editorial team explains that the selection process emphasized originality, community transformation, and long-term sustainability. It was not about popularity or trends but about real-world results, ethical innovation, and measurable progress.
The Top 50 Voices in African Tech 2025 is a reflection of where Africa is headed and who is making that journey possible. These are the leaders who are not just imagining what is next, they are already building it.
