Tingo AI, a trailblazing African artificial intelligence and space technology firm, is commanding attention at GITEX Africa 2025 with an impressive showcase of cutting-edge innovations that reflect a bold vision for the continent’s digital future.
At the heart of its exhibition are three transformative projects: Tingo AI Radio 102.5 FM, TingoGPT, and the newly announced Tingo CubeSat initiative — each illustrating the company’s commitment to blending deep technology with African cultural and developmental needs.
A standout feature at the event is Tingo AI Radio 102.5 FM, heralded as the world’s first fully AI-powered radio station. Broadcasting from Lagos and now available globally via streaming, the station uses TingoGPT — the company’s proprietary large language model — to generate content, curate music, deliver news, and host AI-led discussions. The station represents a fusion of cutting-edge generative AI with African storytelling and cultural expression.
Also on display is TingoGPT, Africa’s homegrown response to the global generative AI movement. Trained to process and produce text in multiple African languages alongside English and French, TingoGPT powers applications across key sectors such as education, fintech, healthcare, and customer engagement. Its deployment in Tingo AI Radio and academic platforms reflects the company’s mission to make AI accessible and meaningful to communities across the continent.
In a bold announcement, Tingo AI unveiled its Tingo CubeSat project — a visionary plan to deploy thousands of 3D-printed, AI-enhanced nano-satellites into Earth orbit by October 2025. The satellite constellation will serve multiple purposes including environmental monitoring, remote sensing, broadband connectivity, and other data services critical for African development.
Leveraging additive manufacturing (3D printing), Tingo AI aims to slash production costs and fast-track satellite deployment — a strategy that could reshape Africa’s role in the global space economy.
With its groundbreaking presentations at GITEX Africa 2025, Tingo AI is sending a clear message: Africa is not just catching up — it is leading. From the airwaves to outer space, the company is setting a new standard for innovation rooted in local relevance and global ambition.
