Why Velkann
The global shift to electric vehicles, clean energy, and advanced electronics has created a massive demand for critical minerals like tin, tantalum, and lithium. Africa holds over 30% of the world’s mineral reserves, yet much of its supply chain remains informal, opaque, and excluded from high-value markets.
​
​
Velkann bridges this gap by making Africa’s minerals traceable, verifiable, and globally compliant. With our AI-driven platform, we’re positioning African miners, cooperatives, and exporters to meet the standards of a $100B+ global industry—powering ethical trade, attracting investment, and enabling the continent to lead in the clean tech and AI revolution.
