About Itana

Itana is a technology company based in Nigeria, recognized for establishing Africa's first Digital Free Zone.

This innovative platform allows tech startups, financial service companies, and service-based businesses to operate in Nigeria and expand across Africa entirely online, without the need for a physical presence. Founded in 2019 as Talent City and rebranded in 2022, Itana is headquartered in Alaro City, Lagos. The company offers a comprehensive digital jurisdiction that simplifies market entry in Africa. Key services include online company incorporation, tax incentives, global banking solutions, and immigration support for remote businesses. Itana is also developing the Itana District, a mixed-use campus designed to foster a vibrant community of entrepreneurs and innovators. With a mission to enhance Africa's digital economy, Itana aims to create a borderless environment where talent and capital can flow freely.
