    54Gene, Kobo360, Piggyvest and Tizeti are the four Nigerian companies listed in FastCompany’s 10 Most Innovative Companies (MIC) in Africa for 2020.

    This was revealed in this year’s MIC list which features 434 businesses from 39 countries. FastCompany claims that these businesses are the ones making the most profound impact on both industry and culture, showcasing a variety of ways to thrive in today’s fast-changing world. 

    Piggyvest: This four-year-old Nigerian savings platform helps users save by automatically deducting fixed amounts from their accounts at set periods (according to user’s instructions) and moving the money into savings or investment accounts. 

    Tizeti: This Nigerian startup, which is known for providing public Wi-Fi hotspots in urban areas, has been rolling out a high-speed network across the country using solar-powered towers.

    The Kobo360 digital platform facilitates freight logistics services by connecting truck drivers and fleet operators with companies they need their goods moved throughout Nigeria and beyond. 

    54gene: This genetics company has taken the first step toward creating an Africa-wide genetic biobank by partnering with more than a dozen hospitals in Nigeria in an effort to collect, sequence, and analyze the genomes of their patients

    The top five Most Innovative Companies according to FastCompany are:

    • Snap – for setting the social agenda
    • Microsoft – for coalescing teams
    • Tesla – for earning the pole position the the US EV race
    • Big Hit Entertainment – for mobilizing and monetizing music fans
    • Hackerone – for putting hackers to work

    Since 2008, Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies has been the definitive source for recognizing the organizations that are transforming industries and shaping society. Every submission for the 2020 Most Innovative Companies is individually evaluated by a team of Fast Company editors and reporters.
