About
A platform born from the field of African digital transformation
EQUINOX is a product of Alliance Corp, a pan-African transformation and digital player based in Dakar that supports African governments, institutions and businesses in their transformation: digital services, IT infrastructure, security and artificial intelligence.
Across these projects, the same issue keeps coming back: the information the sector needs — tenders, reforms, hiring, major events — is scattered across dozens of national portals, institutional websites and media outlets, often hard to reach and rarely up to date in one place.
Alliance Corp built EQUINOX to remove that barrier: gathering, sorting and turning the continent's IT information into action, so everyone knows what to do — and by when.

The problem
Massive, scattered and constantly changing information
Keeping up with Africa's digital sector has become a full-time job.
Massive
Hundreds of public procurement portals, donors, tech media and job boards publish notices, offers and announcements every day. Nobody can read it all.
Scattered
National portals, donor websites, legal notice journals, tender document PDFs, career pages: useful information is spread across hundreds of channels, in French and in English.
Changing
Corrigenda, deadline extensions, new regulations, national strategies: the rules of the game change without warning.
The result: missed deadlines, tenders discovered too late, jobs filled before anyone saw them — and teams spending more time looking for information than using it.
Seizing opportunities requires constant monitoring. That is what EQUINOX is for.
The solution
EQUINOX: all of Africa's digital intelligence, in one place
EQUINOX automatically collects, sorts, summarises and classifies the sector's news, tenders and jobs — so you only keep what matters.
Save time
One feed instead of hundreds of websites. A notice republished by several portals appears only once, and each topic is summarised in a few lines.
Miss nothing
Tenders and deadlines surfaced, extensions flagged, alerts on your criteria, daily and weekly briefs in your inbox.
Decide better
Notices classified by technical domain and contract type, jobs by job family, and an assistant that answers your questions and cites its sources.
Our goal: that every digital player in Africa knows what to do, and by when.
How it works
From source to decision, in four steps
- 1Step 1
Collect
EQUINOX continuously monitors donor and public procurement APIs and portals, tech media, regional organisations and recruitment platforms — in line with their terms of use.
- 2Step 2
Analyze
A specialised AI filters out the irrelevant, merges notices republished by several portals and identifies tenders, awards, jobs and decisions.
- 3Step 3
Organize
Each notice is classified by technical domain and contract type, and its key dates are extracted: deadline, bid opening, event date.
- 4Step 4

Dashboard, agenda, custom alerts and email briefs: the information comes to you.
