A Nigerian-led research and data intelligence firm, Truva Intelligence, has launched operations to provide evidence-based insights aimed at improving investment and policy decisions across African markets.
The firm, which commenced operations on January 5, is targeting corporates, investors, development institutions and governments in North America, Western Europe and Africa with interests on the continent.
Basil Abia, co-founder, Truva Intelligence, said the firm exists to replace speculation with data and help investors and policymakers build resilient strategies in complex African environments.
“Our clients want clarity on where to deploy capital, how regulation is shifting and what is happening on the ground. We want to address long-standing challenges around fragmented data and anecdote-driven assessments that often shape perceptions of African markets,” he noted.
Abia said, Truva Intelligence operates at the intersection of strategy, technology and human expertise, integrating strategic advisory, business intelligence, advanced data science, and monitoring and evaluation into a single service model.
According to the company, this integrated approach enables clients to access locally grounded and globally benchmarked intelligence.
At launch, the firm is offering Africa-literate macroeconomic, sectoral and subnational data, near real-time tracking of legislative and regulatory changes, and an investment-grade pipeline spanning energy, mining, transport and public-private partnership projects.
The firm’s sector focus covers the public and social sectors, energy and mining, security and conflict, infrastructure and logistics, agriculture and food security, technology, consumer goods, and economy-wide sustainability and ESG. Its teams and partner networks operate across Africa, North America and Western Europe.
“Over the next 18 months, Truva Intelligence plans to expand its coverage to more than 15 African countries, while rolling out new product features, application programming interface (API) integrations and research publications, including the Truva Quarterly and Africa Risk Brief”, Abia noted.
