01 — The Challenge
Africa's Digital Infrastructure Runs on Chips It Doesn't Design, Own, or Control
A continent of 1.4 billion people has no indigenous semiconductor design capability. Every smart meter, every data center, every connected device runs on foreign silicon — with foreign trust assumptions baked into the hardware. The cost is measurable: revenue leakage in utilities, opaque security in critical systems, and a structural dependency that grows with every deployment.
Nelix exists to close that gap.
03 — What We Build
Silicon Designed for Africa's Realities
