Only two Nigerian startups make Bloomberg’s 2025 tech watchlist
- PricePally connects consumers directly to farmers and wholesalers, transforming urban food access.
- Thrive Agric provides financing and data-driven support to smallholder farmers, enhancing food affordability.
- Nigerian startups attracted over $1.8 billion in funding in 2021, accounting for 35% of total African tech funding.
The recognition of Nigerian startups in the Bloomberg list is a significant milestone that underscores the potential of the foodtech sector in Nigeria. However, it also raises questions about the need for greater representation and support for more startups in the region, especially given Nigeria's vast entrepreneurial landscape. As the tech ecosystem continues to grow, fostering innovation and investment in diverse sectors will be crucial for sustaining this momentum.
