Globally, individuals, families, households, communities, corporate, governments and nations are exploring innovative ways to improve quality of life while being economically viable.

Data is growing in unprecedented ways requiring an increasing level of consciousness and critical reasoning about the status quo. F.L.I. Global’s response to our challenges aligns with South Africa’s national development plan (NDP) 2030. The plan is enabled by information and communications technology (ICT) prioritizing marginalized communities. It also focuses on forging strategic partnerships globally. These efforts aim to create jobs for women, youth, and people with disabilities. We aim to respond to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We also focus on the African Union (AU) Agenda 2063 for enhancing business competitiveness.

The opportunities for doing so have grown with the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technology.  Our qualified, experienced and certified Teams empower individuals, families, and households. They also support communities, corporate, governments, and nations.

We help businesses in growing profits, lower costs, be decisive and save time. We consciously apply strategies, blueprint, data, AI, analytics, BI, user-centered (UX) design and design thinking wisdom. 

We consist of 8 ICT Leaders in: ICT Law, ICT regulation, ICT governance, and ICT compliance. Our expertise also extends to ICT Strategy and ICT infrastructure. We are skilled in analytics, application development, and artificial intelligence (AI). Additionally, we have expertise in blockchain, business intelligence (BI), and cybersecurity. Our team also covers the Internet of Things (IoT), innovation, and research. We are involved with smart cities, smart villages, and 4IR technology. Our business model is conscious of leaving a legacy through our corporate social investment (CSI) called LoveOlution Dot Net.
