Top Story: DRIVE100: Genomic Platform Wants to Offer Nigerians Fast, Affordable DNA Analysis Through NFT and Blockchain Technology
Across Africa, access to genomic insights is often reserved for well-funded laboratories or large hospitals. Yet, Genomic Platform, a Nigerian healthcare startup, founded by Rotji John, is on a mission to change that.
According to the startup, it aims to provide accessible genomic analysis for small clinics, startups, and researchers, and give individuals ownership and control over their DNA data.
In this edition of Techparley’s DRIVE100, we spotlight Genomic Platform, the startup transforming genomic healthcare, and providing small clinics, researchers, and individuals with fast, automated DNA and RNA analysis, through blockchain and NFT technology.
“Genomic Platform solves two critical problems in healthcare and research: the lack of accessible genomic analysis tools for small clinics, researchers, and individuals, and the loss of ownership and control over personal DNA data,” John told Techparley.

DRIVE100: Meet DAWN AI STUDY, the Startup Using Artificial Intelligence to Give Neurodivergent Learners a Voice in Africa’s Classrooms
Across Africa, learners experience neurodivergent conditions such as dyslexia, ADHD, or autism. Yet, millions remain undiagnosed and unsupported due to limited specialists, poor awareness, and a lack of accessible diagnostic tools. DAWN AI STUDY, a Nigerian startup, wants to close this gap.
In this edition of Techparley’s DRIVE100, where we spotlight Africa’s most impactful startups, we detail how DAWN AI STUDY, founded by Victor Ogunbiyi, is reimagining how Africa identifies and supports neurodivergent learners.
Through innovation, empathy, and cutting-edge artificial intelligence, Ogunbiyi says DAWN AI STUDY is creating an inclusive education ecosystem that ensures no child is left behind due to learning differences.
“DAWN solves this by creating Africa’s first AI-powered neuro-inclusion platform that helps parents, teachers, and specialists identify and support neurodivergent learners early,” Ogunbiyi told Techparley.
