The platform is intended to bring tasks that are often handled through separate providers or spreadsheets into a more connected process, particularly for organisations working across borders. Its proposition responds to the practical differences in payroll rules, statutory deductions and employment administration between markets. By combining software with operational services, Workpay gives companies a way to coordinate hiring and payments while maintaining local support. For the Global Tech Awards, it is a prospect in business SaaS, workforce infrastructure and cross-border technology services. Evidence of product reliability, data protection and measurable customer outcomes would be important in a formal review.

Technology

Complete Farmer is a Ghanaian agricultural technology company creating a connected platform for farmers, produce buyers and agricultural vendors. Its services address parts of the farming supply chain that are frequently managed separately, including access to inputs, growing support and routes to market. The business describes products for growers, buyers and suppliers, with data and digital coordination used to help participants plan, source and trade more effectively. The technology story is broader than the digitisation of farm records. Complete Farmer is attempting to link producers with commercial demand and improve the visibility of agricultural activity from production to purchasing. This gives it relevance to the Global Tech Awards in agritech, sector-specific platforms and technology-enabled supply chains. An assessment could consider usability in rural settings, the quality of data services and evidence that the platform improves transaction or production outcomes for its users.

Technology

SeamlessHR

SeamlessHR is a Nigeria-founded software company building human capital management tools for organisations across Africa. Established under its current brand in 2018, its platform brings together employee records, recruitment processes, payroll, performance and other workforce administration functions. It has also introduced complementary products connected to business productivity, moving beyond a single-purpose HR application. The company focuses on the realities of people management in African business environments, where employers can face complex labour requirements and dispersed teams. A unified system can reduce duplicated data entry and help managers monitor employee processes more consistently. SeamlessHR is therefore a possible prospect for enterprise SaaS, HR technology and regional digital transformation categories. Awards evaluation should distinguish platform capabilities from claimed savings or performance improvements until supported by customer evidence.

Technology

AC Mobility (formerly AC Group)

AC Mobility, previously known as AC Group, is a Rwanda-based mobility technology company associated with the Tap&Go public transport system. Its digital infrastructure connects fare collection with bus operators, agents, service monitoring and transport data. What began as an approach to electronic ticketing has developed into a broader operating system intended to make everyday public transport transactions and management more visible and reliable. The platform illustrates how a technology company can work on physical infrastructure without being a vehicle manufacturer. Cashless payments, operator information and journey data are linked to the practical routines of passengers and transport providers. The business merits consideration for smart-city technology, mobility platforms and public-service digitalisation. Any nomination should test reported coverage and usage figures, system resilience, accessibility and the protection of passenger information.

Technology

Numida

Numida develops digital financial services aimed at micro and small businesses, with a significant operating presence in Uganda. The company began with access to working capital and describes a broader ambition to use business data to support additional financial products. Its mobile-led proposition is designed for entrepreneurs whose financial needs may not be well served by traditional small-business banking channels. Numida demonstrates how software, customer information and financial processes can be assembled around a specialised user group. Its approach is particularly relevant where small merchants need straightforward applications rather than lengthy paper-based procedures. The company is a prospect for fintech innovation, inclusive digital services and applied data technology. Credit performance, consumer protection, lending permissions and the real effects on customer businesses would need independent consideration before any award decision.

Technology

OfferZen

OfferZen is a South African technology recruitment marketplace founded in Cape Town in 2015. Instead of relying only on conventional job advertisements, its platform lets companies approach developers and other technical professionals whose profiles have been curated for available roles. It incorporates information about experience, technology stacks and employment preferences, with matching and communication features intended to simplify hiring. Its specialist focus is one of the business model’s distinguishing features. OfferZen serves an audience with detailed skills requirements and combines software-enabled matching with guidance for employers and candidates. It could be considered for marketplace technology, talent platforms or applied matching software. In a formal assessment, the relevant evidence would include the quality of placements, fairness in matching, candidate experience and the accuracy of company-published success measures.

Technology

Luciq is the current identity of Instabug, a mobile software technology venture with Egyptian origins that adopted its new name in 2025. The company provides a software development kit and monitoring tools for teams operating mobile applications. Its platform brings together technical issues, crashes, user feedback and app-performance signals, helping product and engineering teams understand what is happening after software is released. The rebrand reflects an expansion from in-app bug reports towards AI-supported mobile observability, including ways to prioritise issues and make diagnostic context available to development workflows. Luciq is a prospective fit for developer tooling, application quality and AI-assisted software operations. Technical claims about automated fixes, completeness of telemetry and privacy controls should be independently tested. Its present corporate headquarters and awards-region eligibility should also be confirmed.

Technology

Keka

Keka is an India-based human resources software company providing tools for payroll, employee data, time and attendance, recruitment, performance and related administrative work. Its platform is designed to replace disconnected workplace processes with records and workflows that are easier for HR teams and managers to use. Indian payroll and statutory requirements form an important part of its domestic offering. Keka’s technology proposition lies in linking routine HR work to a common operational system, including approvals, reporting and employee self-service. This can be especially relevant to growing companies that have outgrown spreadsheets but need an accessible platform rather than large enterprise infrastructure. The company fits the Global Tech Awards’ scope in SaaS, workforce automation and business-product design. Security, implementation quality and outcomes for customers of different sizes would warrant assessment.

Technology

Accredify

Accredify is a Singapore-headquartered technology company specialising in issuing and verifying digital records. Its products help organisations transform documents and information into records that can be checked for authenticity and shared through digital processes. The approach has potential applications in education, employment, government and other settings where recipients need to know that a credential or statement came from a trusted issuer. The problem it addresses is not simply document storage but the time, friction and uncertainty involved in proving that information is genuine. By applying verification technology to existing institutional workflows, Accredify offers a specific form of digital trust infrastructure. It is a relevant prospect for enterprise software, information integrity and automation. A nomination would need to examine interoperability, privacy safeguards, operational adoption and how reliably documents can be validated across organisations.

Technology

KiotViet

KiotViet is a Vietnamese business software provider known for its sales and store-management platform. Introduced in 2014, its product has been developed for retailers and smaller enterprises seeking to coordinate checkout, inventory, sales records and day-to-day operations. The company presents the software as a straightforward route into digitisation for businesses that may not have dedicated IT departments. Its focus on merchants makes the wider technology impact tangible: a shop needs accurate stock records, clear sales information and usable tools at the counter. KiotViet translates those needs into software designed for local trading practices. It could be considered for SME SaaS, retail technology and technology accessibility. A full assessment should look at product uptime, support, payment and data safeguards and customer experience rather than relying only on self-reported adoption totals.

Technology

Sprout Solutions

Sprout Solutions is a Philippine business technology company providing digital systems for human resources and payroll. Its platform includes people records, attendance, payroll processing, recruitment, performance and employee-related services adapted to local workplace requirements. The company has also developed AI-related tools and broader workforce products as part of its approach to managing the employee lifecycle. Sprout’s offering reflects the value of building business software around local regulations and familiar administrative pressures. Employers can use connected data and automated workflows rather than transfer information repeatedly between systems. Its potential awards themes include enterprise SaaS, HR technology and practical AI adoption. Independent judging should examine the accuracy of payroll processes, product security, usability and the extent to which innovation has led to verifiable improvements for customers.

Technology

Mekari

Mekari is an Indonesia-based software group offering cloud tools that support business administration and digital operations. The company developed through the combination of specialist software brands and presents an integrated ecosystem covering functions such as finance, tax, human resources and customer processes. Its main audience includes businesses seeking a practical route from manual systems to more connected applications. The platform strategy offers an example of local SaaS development at scale. By placing different business functions within related digital products, Mekari aims to reduce the fragmentation that can arise as organisations grow. It is a prospect for business software, cloud solutions and digital transformation categories. Formal evaluation should test how well the products integrate, the security and continuity of service and whether customer outcomes substantiate the benefits advertised by the company.

Technology

FlowAccount

FlowAccount is a Thai software company founded in 2015 to develop cloud-based accounting tools for smaller businesses. Its product range includes invoicing, accounting records, online payroll, mobile point-of-sale functions and automated document capture. The company describes a SaaS model intended to give entrepreneurs and accounting professionals shared access to records without relying on traditional desktop software. FlowAccount’s work addresses a common obstacle to business digitisation: finance software can be difficult for non-specialists to learn or maintain. By designing features around everyday documents, taxes, payments and reports, it has built a locally oriented product offering. The business could fit categories covering fintech-enabled software, SME SaaS and product accessibility. The assessment would need to examine accuracy, security, integrations and evidence of reduced administrative burdens.

Technology

StoreHub

StoreHub is a Malaysia-founded commerce technology business offering point-of-sale and related management software to retailers, restaurants and service operators. Launched in 2013, the company has expanded its platform across several Southeast Asian markets. Its tools connect sales, payments and business administration, with features intended to help smaller outlets manage activity in-store and through digital channels. The company sits at the intersection of SaaS and everyday commerce. Rather than targeting only large retailers, StoreHub builds tools for businesses that need accessible checkout systems and clearer operational information. This positions it as a possible entrant in retail technology, business platforms and digital enablement. Judges would need to investigate customer support, system availability, integration quality, security practices and the reliability of publicly reported business metrics.

Technology

Synthesia

Synthesia is a London-based artificial intelligence company focused on video creation for organisations. Founded in 2017, it has developed a platform that allows users to create spoken video content using synthetic presenters and text-driven production workflows. Its commercial use cases include employee onboarding, training and business communications, where conventional filming can require specialist equipment, actors and repeated production work. The platform illustrates the application of generative AI to a defined workplace activity rather than simply offering a general-purpose model. Its technology may help teams adapt learning material and communications across languages and formats. Synthesia is a strong research prospect for applied AI, enterprise content software and product innovation. Awards review should also consider consent, transparency about synthetic media, safeguards against misuse and the quality of outputs.

Technology

Mistral AI

Mistral AI is a French artificial intelligence company developing foundation models, developer tools and enterprise AI services. Its offering is built around enabling organisations to deploy powerful language models within applications and tailored workflows. The company identifies openness, control over deployment and technical efficiency as important parts of its approach, alongside products for developers, enterprises and public institutions. Mistral’s place in the technology landscape goes beyond an individual chatbot. It participates in the infrastructure layer that other businesses can use to build AI services, including contexts requiring flexibility over data and deployment. It is relevant to awards relating to frontier AI, enterprise platforms and software infrastructure. Because model quality, safety and efficiency claims change rapidly, any nomination should use contemporaneous third-party benchmarks, governance evidence and customer case studies.

Technology

DeepL

DeepL is a Germany-founded language technology business that began in Cologne in 2017. It has developed AI-powered translation and language tools used by individuals and organisations to work across languages. Its platform now extends from straightforward text translation into business workflows, writing support and integrations designed for teams dealing with multilingual information. Language technology is a clear example of specialised AI meeting a widespread operational problem: people need to understand, produce and exchange information accurately across markets. DeepL has built its proposition around this use case and the requirements of business users. It could be considered for applied AI, enterprise productivity and language technology. Assessment should compare output quality independently and examine data handling, model limitations and the value delivered to customers.

Technology

Factorial

Factorial is a Barcelona-based software company offering a business management platform with an initial focus on human resources. Its tools help organisations manage employee records, time off, documents, expenses, approvals and other administrative processes. The business has expanded its services and international presence while continuing to position usability and workflow automation as central to its product. The software seeks to turn repeated back-office tasks into processes that are easier to monitor and manage. In doing so, it addresses a challenge shared by many growing companies: information becomes scattered as teams, policies and locations multiply. Factorial is a potential prospect in SaaS, workplace automation and scale-up technology. Judges should consider software accessibility, integration depth, information security and evidence that the platform improves decision-making and employee experience.
