The problem we're solving
The global energy transition depends on critical minerals, yet supply chains especially in Africa, remain opaque. According to the International Energy Agency, demand for minerals used in clean energy technologies could grow fourfold by 2040, creating a market worth up to $770 billion. Yet producers struggle to access global markets due to weak traceability and ESG compliance, while buyers face growing regulatory pressure to prove responsible sourcing.
Our solution
Genesys One is building infrastructure for trusted mineral supply chains. Our platform aggregates critical minerals from African producers and attaches blockchain-based digital passports that track origin, custody, and ESG compliance from mine to market. This enables global buyers to source verified minerals while helping producers access international markets, better pricing, and sustainable trade.
Our differentiator
Genesys One combines trade, traceability, and compliance in one platform. Unlike typical traceability tools, we operate directly within African mineral supply chains, aggregating production while providing verifiable ESG data for global buyers. By bridging African producers with OECD markets, we enable responsible mineral trade and turn compliance into a competitive advantage.
Biggest achievement
Genesys One is piloting in Tanzania and is on track to trace and trade $3 million worth of copper concentrate from mine to market. We have also partnered with one of Nigeria’s largest granite and columbite processing facilities to trace mineral assets and are building supply chain partnerships across Africa to enable transparent global mineral trade.
