Nigeria’s Federal Government is set to invest $75 million in fintech giant Flutterwave as the company advances plans for a potential initial public offering (IPO), marking one of the most notable state-backed investments into Africa’s startup ecosystem.The investment was reportedly approved by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and is expected to be executed through the Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MoFI), the government’s investment arm. The move reflects Nigeria’s growing ambition to support high-growth technology firms and deepen participation in the digital economy.Flutterwave is reportedly preparing a $250 million IPO raise, which could value the company above $3 billion and position it among Africa’s most prominent listed technology firms. Government participation is expected to strengthen investor confidence and act as an anchor commitment for broader institutional interest.Founded in 2016, Flutterwave has become one of Africa’s leading payments companies, providing payment infrastructure, cross-border transaction tools, merchant services, and remittance solutions across more than 30 countries. The startup has played a major role in enabling digital commerce across the continent.The proposed investment also follows earlier engagement between Flutterwave executives and Nigeria’s finance ministry on strategic collaboration around financial inclusion, SME growth, and digital transformation. This suggests the relationship extends beyond capital support into broader national fintech strategy.If completed, the deal would signal a new phase in African startup financing where governments move beyond regulation and policy into direct strategic investment in national tech champions. It may also encourage other African states to back high-potential innovation-led companies.As Flutterwave moves closer to public markets, the company is positioning itself not just as a fintech unicorn, but as a flagship example of Africa’s capacity to build globally competitive technology enterprises.

UK-based autonomous driving startup Wayve has secured a $60 million extension to its Series D funding round, with strategic backing from AMD Ventures, Arm, and Qualcomm Ventures. The new capital is aimed at accelerating deployment of AI-powered driving systems across next-generation vehicles.The latest investment extends Wayve’s landmark $1.2 billion Series D round announced earlier this year, which included support from major global backers such as SoftBank, Nvidia, Microsoft, and automotive industry leaders. With this extension, Wayve further strengthens its position as one of Europe’s most valuable AI mobility companies.Founded in London, Wayve develops embodied AI software for autonomous driving. Unlike rule-based self-driving systems, the company uses end-to-end machine learning models trained on real-world driving data, enabling vehicles to adapt dynamically to roads, traffic behavior, and unpredictable urban environments.The participation of AMD, Arm, and Qualcomm is strategically significant, as all three companies are major players in automotive-grade semiconductors and edge AI computing.
