Building Africa's Data Hub for the Future of Intelligence
At Blockmec, we believe that Africa’s data is Africa’s power. Our AI division is building a new digital foundation — a continental-scale data storage hub dedicated to powering the next generation of Large Language Models (LLMs) and intelligent systems.
For too long, Africa’s languages, cultures, and environmental realities have been underrepresented in global AI models. We are changing that narrative by creating structured, verified datasets that capture Africa’s diversity, creativity, and identity in every form — speech, text, image, structure, and behavior.
Our vision is to provide a centralized AI data ecosystem that serves as the engine for innovation across industries — enabling developers, researchers, governments, and businesses to train and deploy models that understand Africa the way Africa understands itself.
Our AI
Ecosystem
Language & Speech Models
We are developing Africa's first multi-language corpus, enabling AI systems to speak and understand African languages fluently — from Yoruba and Swahili to Hausa, Zulu, Igbo, Amharic, and beyond. This effort ensures that African communities have conversational AI tools that reflect their voices and cultural nuances.
Visual Intelligence
We are curating and labeling vast datasets of African landscapes, faces, architecture, art, and agriculture. These datasets power computer vision models that recognize Africa's environments accurately — useful for smart city design, security systems, logistics mapping, and autonomous solutions.
Structural Data Systems
Our data engineers build structured pipelines that organize sector-based data — from agriculture, construction, and energy to education, transportation, and healthcare — enabling intelligent analytics that drive better decisions.
1Base LLM — The Brain of Blockmec
At the heart of our AI strategy lies 1Base, our autonomous Large Language Model built from the ground up for multi-domain adaptability.
•1base.Remi
focuses on architecture and construction design, helping engineers and builders plan and visualize projects.
•1base.Data functions as a dynamic AI analyst that interprets reports, visualizes insights, and helps organizations make sense of complex information.
•Future modules — in finance, education, medicine, and sustainability — will expand 1Base into Africa's most complete AI ecosystem.
Our
GOAL
Blockmec’s AI division is not just storing data; we are preserving the digital DNA of Africa — a living record of voices, innovation, and identity.
We are building the infrastructure to ensure that future AI systems recognize, understand, and serve the African continent with authenticity and intelligence.
