nuvoteQ Foundation secures $300k for Africa's clinical-trials infrastructure
A $150k nuvoteQ Foundation grant and $168k from CEPI will expand the ctc.africa platform — adding AMR mapping and AI, and securing operations as it transitions to a permanent African host.

$300k+ secured to advance Africa's clinical-trials infrastructure. 🚀
We're thrilled to announce that the nuvoteQ Foundation and CEPI — the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations — have committed combined funding to accelerate the Clinical Trials Community (CTC) platform, ctc.africa: the open, living map of Africa's trial sites, CROs, sponsors and regulators.
Here's a quick look at how these resources will be used:
- AMR & AI integration — $150,000, nuvoteQ Foundation. Originating from our recent Africa's Business Heroes prize, this grant funds a new antimicrobial-resistance (AMR) mapping module and integrates AI-driven data capabilities into the platform.
- Platform sustainability — $168,000, CEPI. This sponsorship secures critical platform operations for the next 12 months and supports our structural transition toward a permanent African institutional host.
With four institutional funders now backing the Clinical Trials Community (Africa) platform, this marks a major step toward long-term, Africa-based governance and financial self-sustainability.
"Super proud to be part of this amazing project!" — Adriaan Kruger, Co-Founder & CEO
