PolicIQ Launches to Help African Tech Companies Navigate Regulation with Confidence

[Abuja, Nigeria] — PolicIQ, a new policy–tech advisory and compliance intelligence firm, has officially launched with a mission to ensure that regulation never becomes the reason African innovation fails.

As artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies transform industries across Africa—from fintech and healthtech to education and mobility—businesses face growing scrutiny from regulators. Existing legal frameworks, such as data protection, consumer rights, and corporate filings, are already being enforced, and the consequences of non-compliance can be swift and severe.

"Too many brilliant companies stumble, not because their ideas are weak, but because they overlook the legal and regulatory obligations that already apply to them," said Abdullah Tijani, Managing Partner at PolicIQ. "Our job is to give startups, corporates, and investors the clarity they need to scale with confidence."

PolicIQ's Services Include:

• Regulatory Intelligence: Tracking and analyzing policy changes before they impact businesses.
• Compliance Roadmaps: Practical, tailored strategies to stay investor-ready and regulator-proof.
• Legal Advisory: Guidance on corporate filings, data protection, and sector-specific compliance.
• Capacity Building: Training teams to embed compliance into their everyday operations.

The firm positions itself at the intersection of policy, law, and technology, filling a gap in Africa's innovation ecosystem where regulation is often misunderstood or treated as an afterthought. PolicIQ's approach frames compliance not as a burden, but as a strategic advantage that builds trust with investors, regulators, and customers.

"With the accelerating rise of AI and digital technologies, compliance and governance are no longer optional," Tijani added. "At PolicIQ, we exist to make sure regulation doesn't suffocate innovation but strengthens it."

PolicIQ is now open for engagements with startups, corporates, and investors across Africa.
