Africa

Founded in 2013, IBM Research – Africa develops new technologies to transform lives and spark new business opportunities. We conduct research in key areas such as water management, agriculture, transportation, health care, financial inclusion, education, energy, security, and government. With facilities in Kenya and South Africa, we foster local innovation ecosystems and have created new models for partnerships with industry, academia, government, non-profits, and start-ups.
