  "account": "AnyworkX, a Nigerian-developed app, aims to enhance cross-border payments and online transactions in a virtual market space. Designed to solve cross-border payment challenges, it creates a single digital ecosystem for millions of Africans to conduct everyday transactions using scalable technology. Emma Okonji notes that Africa's digital economy includes successful platforms for payments, mobility, food delivery, and e-commerce, but the most significant opportunity may be integrating fragmented transactions into a trusted digital ecosystem. X-agon Digital Solutions Limited is pursuing this opportunity with AnyworkX, a marketplace that began as a service platform and is evolving into a broader consumer superapp. Users can find service providers for various needs, from plumbers to grocery orders, all through one app. Configured for use across 42 countries, AnyworkX positions itself as the digital gateway for multiple transactions in Africa's services economy, e-commerce, food ordering, pharmacy fulfilment, local retail, logistics, and digital payments. By addressing customers' needs, AnyworkX aims to digitize connections between service providers and customers, who often rely on personal referrals for essential services. The platform connects users to verified service providers across hundreds of categories, providing location-based discovery and verifying trust in digital transactions. As a multi-category platform, AnyworkX can generate revenue through transaction-based monetisation, merchant-friendly approaches, and potential economies from logistics and payments scaling.",
