The big picture
Trident’s Sikaflow targets Ghana’s 2M+ informal MSMEs, aiming to digitize commerce and tax compliance while unlocking financing access. The platform’s success could validate Trident’s strategy of deploying sovereign-scale digital infrastructure across emerging markets. If scaled, this model may address the $5.2T annual MSME financing gap in developing economies.
