Amini

Amini is a sovereign data infrastructure company founded in 2022, headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, with an additional base in Bridgetown, Barbados. It was built to close the data and compute gap in Africa and the wider Global South, where governments and enterprises have historically lacked infrastructure to collect, process and govern their own environmental and operational data locally.

The platform combines satellite, sensor and document data into an interoperable data layer, offered through modules such as Amini Origin, an API-first data integration layer, Amini Soma for AI-based document digitization, and Amini Pods, modular micro data centers for local processing. Government agencies and enterprise clients across more than 25 countries use it for agriculture and climate applications, and the company reports having digitized over 1.5 million documents and processed more than 15 terabytes of government data.
