SINGAPORE, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: TDTH) (“Trident” or the “Company”), a Singapore-headquartered digital infrastructure holding company focused on building and operating sovereign-scale technology ecosystems across emerging markets, today announced the launch of TDTHAI Africa , a strategic initiative designed to identify, develop, and pursue artificial intelligence-powered digital infrastructure opportunities throughout Africa. Building upon the Company’s previously disclosed Ghana Revenue Authority deployment targeting more than 530,000 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (“MSMEs”) and supporting projected platform economics of approximately US$800 million over an initial five-year operating horizon , TDTHAI Africa is intended to serve as a strategic platform for evaluating and executing additional AI-driven opportunities across multiple African markets. The Company believes the Ghana deployment establishes a scalable framework for future expansion as governments, businesses, and institutions accelerate digital transformation initiatives throughout the continent. The launch represents the next phase of Trident’s evolving strategy to establish scalable technology platforms across high-growth emerging markets and expands the Company’s growing presence across Africa following the previously announced deployment of its digital tax and MSME formalization platform in partnership with the Ghana Revenue Authority. Management believes the Ghana initiative serves as an important proof-of-execution milestone demonstrating Trident’s ability to support large-scale digital transformation programs while creating a foundation for broader expansion opportunities across Africa. Africa: One of the World’s Largest Digital Infrastructure Opportunities Africa represents one of the world’s most significant long-term digital growth opportunities, encompassing 54 countries with rapidly expanding digital economies, increasing internet penetration, rising smartphone adoption, and a growing population of entrepreneurs, businesses, educational institutions, and government organizations seeking technology-enabled solutions. Trident believes these macroeconomic and demographic trends are creating favorable conditions for scalable AI-powered platforms capable of supporting economic modernization, operational efficiency, digital engagement, and long-term business growth throughout the continent. As governments and enterprises continue investing in modernization initiatives, the Company believes Africa is entering a period of accelerated digital transformation driven by expanding connectivity, growing digital entrepreneurship, increasing mobile adoption, and rising demand for technology-enabled services capable of supporting both public and private sector development. Expanding Opportunities Across Government, Enterprise, and SME Ecosystems TDTHAI Africa will focus on evaluating opportunities where artificial intelligence can enhance business productivity, digital engagement, marketing automation, customer acquisition, analytics, operational efficiency, and enterprise growth. The initiative is expected to explore opportunities across government technology, digital commerce ecosystems, enterprise services, education, financial services, telecommunications, and SME enablement programs, all of which represent significant long-term growth markets throughout Africa. The Company believes small and medium-sized businesses represent one of the largest opportunities for AI adoption across the continent. Many businesses continue to operate without access to sophisticated digital marketing, customer engagement, and business automation tools. Trident believes AI-powered solutions may help businesses improve visibility, streamline operations, reduce costs, enhance customer acquisition efforts, and compete more effectively in an increasingly digital economy. The Company further believes governments throughout Africa are increasingly pursuing modernization initiatives involving digital services, business formalization, compliance infrastructure, citizen engagement, educational outreach, public awareness campaigns, and broader technology-enabled economic development programs. Trident believes AI-powered platforms may ultimately play an important role in supporting these initiatives by improving scalability, efficiency, and engagement capabilities across both public and private sector ecosystems. Building Long-Term Digital Infrastructure Through AI and Workforce Development In addition to commercial opportunities, TDTHAI Africa is expected to evaluate initiatives supporting workforce development, entrepreneurship, educational partnerships, and AI skills training programs. The Company believes long-term adoption of artificial intelligence across emerging markets will require investment in digital literacy, workforce readiness, university engagement, and technology-enabled economic participation programs
