Artefact, a global consulting firm focused on advancing the adoption of data and artificial intelligence (AI), is expanding its African footprint by opening a new office in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.
The new location complements Artefact Africa's hubs in Casablanca, Morocco, and Cape Town, South Africa, bringing the total number of employees to more than 200.
The company believes the Côte d'Ivoire market would allow it to strategically serve consumers in Francophone Africa by deploying AI solutions that are both unique and relevant to their specific concerns, and it is willing to collaborate with local businesses.
Since expanding into Africa in 2020, Artefact has established presence in various African countries, including Senegal, Egypt, and Madagascar.
“Strengthening our presence in Ivory Coast is a strategic step that allows us to better serve our clients in Francophone Africa. We look forward to working alongside ambitious local companies to deploy AI solutions that are both innovative and relevant to their specific challenges,” commented Médéric Chomel, managing partner for Africa.
Fabrice Zapfack, partner for Côte d'Ivoire, sees the expansion as an opportunity to contribute to Africa's developing technology sector.
He said: “By establishing Artefact in Côte d’Ivoire, we are reaffirming our ambition to contribute to the rise of a bold African tech ecosystem—one that innovates and takes control of its data. Our vision is clear: to combine global excellence with deep knowledge of local realities, and to build sustainable, tailor-made solutions.”
