nuvoteQ Foundation secures $300k for Africa's clinical-trials infrastructure

Big news for Africa's clinical-research infrastructure. 🇿🇦

The nuvoteQ Foundation and CEPI — the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations — have together committed roughly $300,000 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 where the funding goes:

• $150,000 — nuvoteQ Foundation. Seeded by our founder's Africa's Business Heroes prize, this grant funds a new antimicrobial-resistance (AMR) mapping module and integrates AI-driven data capabilities into the platform.
• $168,000 — CEPI. Secures the platform's operations for the next 12 months and supports its structural transition toward a permanent African institutional host.

"Super proud to be part of this amazing project!" — Adriaan Kruger, Co-Founder & CEO

The model was deliberately built to support Africa's research community, not replace it — putting the data, the tooling and, ultimately, the ownership in African hands. That's the whole point: the digital infrastructure that makes world-class clinical research and epidemic preparedness achievable across the continent.
