About us

Engineering Africa's intelligent core, from Durban to the world.

Core Node Africa was founded on a simple belief: world-class software and AI can — and should — be built on the continent.

Headquartered in Durban, South Africa

Our story

We started Core Node Africa to close a gap we saw every day: African businesses needed real software partners — not freelancers, not offshore call centres — to build AI-powered products that compete globally.

Today we're a senior team of engineers, designers and machine-learning specialists building products with clients across South Africa and beyond. Each Core Node — each engineer — is a connected point in a continental network of capability.
