Every programme TAG pursues is tested against one long-term aspiration: an Africa that develops, owns, finances and operates the space-enabled infrastructure its economies depend on.
Our vision
To become a leading African-owned commercial space enterprise, advancing the continent's technological sovereignty, industrial competitiveness, scientific progress and strategic infrastructure independence through commercially sustainable innovation and institutional partnerships.
Our mission
To be a trusted gateway for private-sector investment in Africa's space sector, supporting technology acquisition, engineering excellence, institutional partnerships and international industrial cooperation, while strengthening the public institutions we work alongside.
Core objectives
TAG's work is organised around eleven core objectives:
- Satellite systems. Development and integration of satellite systems.
- Engineering. Aerospace and telecommunications engineering.
- Earth intelligence. Earth observation and geospatial intelligence.
- Connectivity. Satellite-enabled connectivity.
- Project delivery. Space infrastructure procurement and project delivery.
- Environment. Environmental and climate monitoring.
- Commercialization. Commercialization of scientific research.
- Technology transfer. Structured transfer of know-how to African institutions and firms.
- Cybersecurity. Securing space and ground segments, data and communications.
- Finance. Strategic infrastructure financing.

How we measure progress
TAG will assess its own effectiveness by the strength of its governance, the credibility of its partnerships, the quality of its execution, the sustainability of its commercial performance and the lasting value it creates for shareholders, partners and African public institutions.
