Empowering African artists for global success
E-commerce disruptor Moulaye Tabouré’s vision of taking “Africa to the world” led to the creation of Afrikea. This groundbreaking digital platform enables African artists, designers, and artisans to sell, ship, and get paid globally for local products. With this venture, the former auditor and information systems graduate turned the influence of online sales growth on its head - from driving consumption to generating income for Africans. Rebranded as ANKA, the Côte d’Ivoire-based company now serves retailers in multiple sectors, adding shipment management and safe payment services through international partnerships with DHL, Visa, M-Pesa, Orange, and MTN.
