Applications are now open for the Itana Digital Residency Launchpad – a three-month, community-driven residency designed for founders, business owners, and diaspora professionals building and investing in Africa.
At its core, the Itana Digital Residency Launchpad is a gateway into the pioneering Itana ecosystem—Africa’s first digital economic zone and virtual Free Zone built to empower technology and service-driven businesses across the continent.
Says Itana:
This is not an accelerator, so no demo days or pitch pressures.
Instead, you gain access, visibility, and long-term support to help you achieve more.
The essence of the Itana Digital Residency?
A community of visionary builders
The Digital Residency brings together ambitious founders, innovators, and operators who are either doing business in Africa or aiming to. It’s a collaborative network offering support, insights, and partnership opportunities across borders.
Remote business integration—made seamless
The launchpad streamlines the process of incorporating and operating a business in Nigeria digitally. With the Itana platform (“Itana Edge”), you can register, access legal and banking services, secure visas, and handle taxation—all remotely.
Exclusive perks and support
Applying unlocks priority processing, curated advisory, and access to trusted service providers. It’s more than just paperwork—it connects you to a marketplace of vetted specialists and practical business services.
Futuristic live‑work‑build ecosystem
Beyond the digital layer, Itana is building a real-world district—a 72,000 sqm mixed-use development in Alaro City featuring co‑living and co-working spaces, high-speed internet, sustainable infrastructure, and community-driven architecture.
A policy-forward answer for Africa
Drawing inspiration from Delaware, e‑Estonia, and Dubai Internet City, Itana reimagines free zone policy for the digital age—offering predictable regulations, tax incentives, banking flexibility, and full foreign ownership.
