Treepz Drives Global Ambition, Launches in Canada with University of Toronto as Anchor Client
African mobility innovator Treepz has officially commenced operations in Canada, marking its strategic entry into the North American market. This significant expansion begins with a flagship partnership, securing the University of Toronto’s African Impact Initiative as its inaugural client. The launch event, held at Brampton City Hall, received public endorsement from the city’s mayor, Patrick Brown, highlighting the promising collaboration between the African tech startup and Canadian stakeholders.
A Testament to African Tech’s Global Reach
Treepz’s expansion into Canada underscores the impressive global aspirations of African technology companies and addresses the increasing demand for cross-border mobility solutions. Since its establishment in 2019, Treepz has rapidly grown its footprint, now operating in 25 cities across five countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, and its newest market, Canada. The company boasts an impressive record of serving over 6 million customers to date. Mayor Patrick Brown lauded Treepz’s founders as “brilliant entrepreneurs,” humorously adding, “If you can handle traffic in Lagos, you can handle traffic anywhere,” referencing the startup’s origins and resilience. Treepz is no stranger to the Canadian tech ecosystem, having previously participated in the Techstars Toronto accelerator program in 2021, and has successfully attracted Canadian investors to fuel its continued growth across the African continent and now North America.
The Canadian launch marks a pivotal moment for Treepz, solidifying its position as a leading mobility provider and demonstrating the universal applicability of its platform. This move not only broadens Treepz’s operational scope but also reinforces the narrative of African innovation making a substantial impact on the global stage, fostering new avenues for collaboration and economic growth.
