The global hunt for high-end engineering talent has officially shifted its compass toward the African continent. On January 18, 2026, the Israeli software services giant Commit announced the acquisition of Savannah, a bootstrapped African tech talent platform, in an all-cash deal valued in the millions of dollars. Founded in late 2022 by Itai Azogui, Savannah has spent the last three years building a elite network of over 100 senior developers, primarily in Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana. The acquisition marks Commit’s first formal entry into the African market, moving beyond its traditional offshore hubs in Eastern Europe and India to tap into a fresh, English-speaking workforce that has become increasingly proficient in AI-driven development and core product engineering.

Under the terms of the deal, Savannah will be integrated into Commit’s Offshore division, led by CEO Evgeny Golubov, while founder Itai Azogui and the entire Savannah team will join the company to scale operations. The move is a strategic response to rising costs and geopolitical instability in traditional outsourcing markets, positioning Commit as a first-mover among major global software firms to create a dedicated pipeline for African R&D. By merging Savannah’s proprietary "rapid-identification" methodology with Commit’s massive global reach, the deal aims to solve critical R&D bottlenecks for high-growth startups and enterprises like Aqua Security and Port, proving that the "Silicon Savannah" is now a cornerstone of the global high-tech supply chain.
