African electric vehicle manufacturer Agilitee is preparing to list on the United States public markets in a strategic move aimed at raising capital and accelerating its expansion across Africa’s growing green mobility sector.
The Johannesburg-based firm is pursuing the listing through a reverse merger with U.S.-listed Media Sentiment Inc., with the transaction expected to be finalised by July 2026.
Once completed, the combined entity will be renamed Agilitee Inc., with existing Agilitee shareholders expected to retain a controlling 95 percent stake.
The planned listing represents a significant step for the company, placing it among a small but increasing number of African technology firms tapping into global capital markets to fund growth.
Agilitee, founded in 2018, focuses on the development and deployment of electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, and related technologies aimed at reducing dependence on fossil fuels. The company is also active in artificial intelligence and broader green technology solutions.
In line with its expansion strategy, Agilitee has recently strengthened international partnerships. Earlier this year, it announced a collaboration with a Chinese automaker to introduce a range of electric scooter models in selected African markets, targeting rising demand for affordable and clean transportation.
The company has also secured agreements to supply tens of thousands of electric scooters in countries including Kenya and Nigeria, as part of efforts to expand last-mile mobility and logistics solutions.
Agilitee’s growth comes amid increasing momentum in Africa’s electric mobility space, driven by high fuel costs, rapid urbanisation, and a stronger policy focus on climate resilience.
With operations already spanning parts of East and West Africa, the company plans to deepen its footprint through local assembly and infrastructure development.
Analysts say the proposed U.S. listing could provide Agilitee with the capital needed to scale production, strengthen supply chains, and accelerate electric vehicle adoption across the continent, as Africa gradually positions itself within the global transition to cleaner energy and transport systems.
