Big news for OrionX and Botswana ๐ง๐ผ
OrionX has been named a finalist in the 2026 WIPO Global Awards.
WIPO - World Intellectual Property Organization. It is a United Nations agency that supports innovation, creativity, inventions, and intellectual property around the world.
This year, the WIPO Global Awards received 1,300+ applications from 126 countries, and only 33 companies were selected as finalists.
OrionX is one of them.
Even more special: we are the first startup from Botswana to be named a finalist.
At OrionX, we are building Africa-first intelligence infrastructure through Uhuru AI, Uhuru Cloud, and U Code. Our work is focused on real challenges across Africa and emerging markets: low bandwidth, mobile-first access, local languages, affordability, data sovereignty, and AI systems that understand our context.
Africa will not just use the future of AI.
Africa will build it.
This recognition means a lot, but it is not the destination. It is fuel for the work ahead: putting powerful intelligence tools in the hands of Africans with ideas, businesses, dreams, and problems they are ready to solve.
The work continues.
