Our Purpose
XTalanta has one purpose: to bring prosperity to communities in Africa. We will achieve our vision by:
- Helping African businesses find investment, so that they can grow and create jobs for African people.
- Using technology to break barriers to global opportunities for talented people.
We firmly believe that African nations have a huge untapped talent pool, ranging from brilliant academics, multi-lingual entrepreneurs, amazing customer servers, musicians, sports and performing artists. Our aim is for the XTalanta platform to become the one place where all talented people from African communities can be found.
We started our journey in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), but are expanding to Ghana and Nigeria
With vast natural resources, which, according to the USA International Trade Administration (USA ITA), remains mostly untapped and has a staggering estimated value of $24 trillion, the DRC presents a significant business opportunity. DRC is Africa’s largest producer of copper, and the world’s largest producer of cobalt, a strategic metal used in battery manufacture. DRC has exceptional natural resources, and a significant role to play in the global climate change agenda, with great potential for renewable energy, such as hydroelectric power, vast arable land, tremendous biodiversity and the second largest tropical rain forest in the world. It is not surprising that some major western companies are already establishing a presence in the capital of Kinshasa. Crucially, the USA ITA suggests that exporting to DRC can offer high profit margins because the market is not yet saturated with competition.
XTalanta provides businesses and investors with an opportunity to gain presence in DRC and other unsaturated African markets, via their most valuable asset – the African people!
