Digitech Africa
Cloud-based insurtech platforms for reinsurers and insurers across Africa
Overview
Digitech Africa is a reinsurance technology and digital insurance distribution provider serving carriers and reinsurers across Sub-Saharan Africa. The company develops cloud-based SaaS platforms designed to automate insurance and reinsurance workflows, addressing the operational inefficiencies that contribute to Africa's low insurance penetration rate (below 3%).
The company's flagship product, Hyperion 2.0, is a reinsurance ERP that automates the full transaction lifecycle between reinsurers and cedants, covering underwriting, claims, billing, accounting, and reporting. A second platform, Multiverse, enables insurers to distribute life and non-life products through mobile channels to both internet and non-internet users. The Infinity Platform extends the Multiverse model to automobile insurance, offering a B2B2C digitization solution for auto insurers.
Digitech Africa was founded in 2016 by Alexandre N'Djore, a former telecom and insurance executive, and is headquartered in Abidjan with additional offices in the Seychelles and South Africa. The company raised EUR 300,000 in Seed funding in 2022 from the BLOC Smart Africa Fund (managed by Bamboo Capital Partners) and Launch Africa Ventures. Hyperion 2.0 is deployed across 14 African countries and processes over 40 million transactions annually for approximately 200 insurance companies, including CICA-RE.
