Ghanaian cold chain logistics firm FreezeLink has been named among Bloomberg’s 25 African companies to watch in 2025, in recognition of its innovative approach to reducing food and medicine waste across the continent.
The company, which operates a solar-powered pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) cold storage model, has been praised for its role in addressing infrastructure gaps in agriculture and health supply chains.
FreezeLink’s services are helping to tackle post-harvest losses and improve market access for smallholder farmers, while also supporting the safe transport of temperature-sensitive medical products.
“We sought ground-breaking companies doing transformative work that is scalable across Africa,” said Arijit Ghosh, Bloomberg’s Africa Managing Editor.
“We started by reviewing 2,000 companies. We then studied 150 in depth before selecting the top 25.”
FreezeLink’s inclusion shows its growing influence in a sector that remains critical to the continent’s development. The company says its solutions are designed not only to reduce waste but also to increase farmers’ earnings and strengthen food security across Africa.
“The long-term challenge of post-harvest losses in African agriculture is finding a formidable adversary in FreezeLink,” said company spokesperson, Solomon Kportuphey.
“Our immediate strategic ambition is to create ‘horticulture highways’ that link African farmers to both local and global markets, using a network of cold storage facilities, transport solutions, and engineering services,” he added.
Further boosting the firm’s international visibility, FreezeLink’s CEO recently addressed the main plenary at the Qatar Economic Forum, an event hosted in partnership with Bloomberg.
The forum provided a platform to showcase the company’s model to investors and policymakers from around the world.
The recognition affirms the growing potential of Ghanaian-led innovation in solving structural challenges in Africa’s agricultural value chains. FreezeLink’s success is seen by some as a signal of rising entrepreneurial momentum on the continent.
