Our Story
Putting Africa on the Digital Map
More than 60% of Africans live without a formal address. No street name, no postal code, no way to receive a delivery or be found by emergency services. ADAS Grid exists to change that.
Our Mission
Across the African continent, hundreds of millions of people are effectively invisible to logistics networks, government services, and the digital economy. Without an address, you cannot receive a package, prove where you live, or be reached in an emergency.
ADAS Grid assigns a unique, short, memorable digital code to every 3-meter square on the continent. These codes work offline, require no infrastructure to deploy, and can be shared as easily as a phone number. Our system is designed from the ground up for African realities: low-bandwidth networks, multilingual communities, and rapidly growing cities.
We partner with governments, businesses, and communities to make digital addressing a universal utility — as fundamental as electricity or mobile connectivity.

Our Values
What drives us every day
Everything we build is guided by four core principles.
Accessibility
Every person deserves a findable location. Our platform works on any device, any network, in any language spoken across the continent.
Reliability
Addresses that work offline, codes that never expire, and infrastructure built for real-world conditions across diverse environments.
Local-first
Designed with African communities, not for them. Local formatting, local languages, and local emergency service integration from day one.
Open
Open APIs, transparent data practices, and a commitment to interoperability. We believe addressing infrastructure should be a shared resource.
