Materials, electronics, defence, space. Designed and built in Guinea by Africa Space Industries.
Guinea's bauxite leaves raw and comes back as finished goods, bought back at a high price. We transform it here: alumina, gallium, ceramics, and the equipment made from them.
What our armies imported, designed by our engineers, built on our soil, repaired at home.
Our data stays on our soil, our encryption keys belong to the State, our technicians are trained here. No one else decides for us.
Yesterday, Africa exported its minerals and imported technology.
Tomorrow, Africa transforms its wealth, makes its technology, exports it and passes it on to its neighbours.
Guinea holds the largest bauxite reserves in the world and exported close to 183 million tonnes in 2025, almost all of it raw. The value is created elsewhere: in refining, in gallium recovery, in aluminium smelting.
In 2025, the State withdrew dozens of mining permits from companies that had not built a refinery in Guinea. The policy is clear: extract here, transform here. What is missing is the expertise to do it. That is what ASI brings.
| Mineral | Today | Transformed in Guinea |
|---|---|---|
| Bauxite | Exported raw, close to 183 million tonnes in 2025 | Alumina, ceramics, aluminium |
| Gallium | Recovered in foreign refineries | Gallium, gallium nitride for electronics |
| Graphite | The Forest Guinea deposit is not mined | Purified, then spherical graphite for battery anodes |
| Iron ore | Simandou has been exporting since late 2025 | Pellets, direct reduced iron, steel |
Gallium comes first. China produces about 99% of the world's primary gallium and has restricted its exports. Gallium is essential to semiconductors, 5G networks, satellites and defence. Recovered in Guinea, it would make Guinea a direct supplier to world industry.
The resource curse? We will make it a blessing.
Materials, electronics, defence, space. Four divisions working toward one goal: that the value, the knowledge and the jobs stay where the wealth is.
ASI Materials designs the processes that transform Guinea's minerals on its own soil: bauxite into alumina, gallium recovered during refining, graphite from Forest Guinea, iron from Simandou. ASI designs the processes and the plants, trains the teams and supports commissioning; the State and its companies own them.
Years of trials, a few months of computing. Materials and processes are designed by simulation and artificial intelligence before they reach the laboratory.
ASI Electronics turns a design into hardware that works: circuit boards, power electronics, battery management, embedded software, FPGA programmable chips and photonics. The boards are designed by our engineers, assembled and tested in Guinea.
Reliability is decided in the electronics. Equipment is only useful if it runs for months without maintenance, in rain and heat alike.
ASI Defence designs and builds in Guinea one system, from sensor to command: surveillance of the territory, the coasts and the mining sites, secure communications, command and protection. Each piece of equipment works alone, and all of them work together, in a tropical version for Guinea and a desert version for the Sahel and the Sahara.
Humans decide. AI sorts and flags. Analysts confirm, and the authorities decide the response. The servers are in Guinea and the keys belong to the State. Every sale goes through the required export licences and an end-user check.
ASI Space measures what leaves Guinea today, from space and at the port, and prepares tomorrow's Guinean satellites. Once the engineers, the industry and the revenue are in place: satellite components and assembly, a ground station, then Guinean observation satellites to watch the mining sites and the coast, with data that belongs to Guinea.
Space comes next. We start with what pays quickly and with what already exists. Each step prepares the next; space comes once the skills are there.
ASI works with states and their forces, within a clear framework.
Study of the areas to cover and the missions, with the ministry concerned.
On a site chosen by the State.
State-to-state contract or with the ministry.
Installation, commissioning and connection to command.
Operators and technicians trained by the ASI school and T Academy.
Parts, updates and support provided in Guinea.
Pass it on. Every contract includes training the country's engineers and technicians. ASI does not only sell equipment: it passes on the knowledge to build, repair and improve it.
Africa Space Industries does not start from zero. It builds on H2 Security, a cybersecurity and platform engineering company that already delivers systems in production, and on a team of recognised researchers in artificial intelligence, materials, photonics and electronics.
Infrastructure, networks and data centres built never to go down.
Offensive and defensive cybersecurity, more than 380 vulnerabilities found.
Production software, from embedded code to web platforms.
Materials, electronics, optics and AI, from the laboratory to the prototype.
Kubernetes, Kafka, multi-region cloud, platforms handling more than 150 million transactions.
What already runs. T Academy trains engineers online. Dome protects sites at the edge of the network with its points of presence. These are the foundations on which ASI builds in Guinea.
Founder, CEO and CTO
A cybersecurity and infrastructure engineer for 26 years, Houssam builds and protects systems that cannot fail. He founded H2 Security, and he leads strategy, technical architecture and partner relations.
In Guinea: The data platform, the State's digital security, training through T Academy.
Co-founder, government affairs
Honorary Consul of the Republic of Guinea for California since 2012, Jordan Garcia has connected international companies and West Africa for more than fifteen years, in mining, energy and infrastructure. With French, Spanish and American roots, he carried the Africa Space Industries project to the Guinean authorities. He organised with UCLA a major international conference on the geopolitics of Africa's critical minerals.
In Guinea: The permanent link between ASI, the State and its partners.
Co-founder, director of AI and FPGA
One of the most productive artificial intelligence researchers of his generation, Abdullah combines top-level research with a rare engineering practice: computer vision, FPGA programmable chips, embedded systems.
In Guinea: AI for export measurement, for command and on board.
Co-founder, chief materials scientist
A doctor in mechanical and electrical engineering and a researcher in materials and energy systems, Khalid speeds up the discovery of new materials by combining atomic-scale simulation with machine learning.
In Guinea: The laboratory, alumina, gallium, protective ceramics.
Co-founder, photonics and graphite
One of the world's leading graphite specialists, and a specialist in semiconductor lasers and photonic circuits, Jehan has 17 years of research and teaching behind him. A doctor of the University of Glasgow, he is a senior member of the IEEE and an associate of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste.
In Guinea: Guinean graphite, optics, the laser link, laser analysis of ores.
Electronics engineer
An electronics engineer trained in Morocco and Canada, Badr does the work that turns a design into hardware that works: power electronics, battery management, circuit boards and embedded software. He worked as an electronics engineer at Instrumentation GDD in Quebec, and designs boards from schematic to production.
In Guinea: Circuit boards and energy, and the assembly line in Guinea.
