IDC in Sub-Saharan Africa

IDC has been present in Africa since 1999 and serves the continent through a network of offices in Johannesburg, Nairobi, Lagos, and Cairo, combining local insights with international perspectives to provide IT vendors, channel partners, telcos, and end-user organizations with a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic markets that make up this diverse region.

Given IDC's respected standing in the market, we have also established close working relationships with governments throughout Africa, providing them with in-depth consultancy services designed to inform a new generation of technology policies, strategies, and regulations for the digital era.

As Africa's digital transformation narrative continues to evolve, IDC is perfectly positioned to help IT vendors, service providers, and channel partners build long-term partnerships, deliver lasting business value, and provide the local context required to enable success.
