About 2N16E

As a continent, Africa presents incredible business opportunities, however, there is a general dearth of insights about the market. As a company, we are passionate and deeply rooted in Africa; our name is derived from the GPS coordinates of the geographic centre of Africa. We revel in the creative energy that results when different people, cultures, and technologies intersect.

At 2N16E, we're not your typical research firm. We don't just see what others see; we connect the dots, and deliver unique insights that drive results. How? By investing a great deal of time in thinking, and making sense of data from various sources.

We don't just focus on the"what"; we dive into the "why" behind consumer behaviour as well as the "so what?". In our world, conventional research methodologies only scratch the surface.

Let us help you unlock the deeper insights you need to succeed in today's rapidly changing, and increasingly complex world of consumers.
