At GreenBDG Africa, we believe sustainability lives in the space between systems and people.

GreenBDG Africa is revolutionising sustainability through AI-enabled proptech. Our core innovation, AfricaESG.AI, is a real-time ESG platform integrating smart metering, predictive analytics, and diagnostics for infrastructure performance. We decode complex environmental, social, and governance metrics using AI to power carbon tracking, waste intelligence, and circular economy modeling across the built environment.

By embedding global standards like LEED, EDGE, and Green Star into data-driven tools, we enable instant compliance insights and future-proof design strategies. Our solutions optimise energy systems, uncover efficiency gaps, and visualize impact in ways decision-makers can act on—fast.

We're not just advisors; we're system architects. With deep regional expertise and a decade of award-winning leadership, we’re uniquely positioned to scale AI capabilities across Africa’s infrastructure.

From education hubs to industrial precincts, GreenBDG Africa is the engine behind smarter, greener, data-empowered spaces.
