Smart border management is rapidly becoming one of Africa’s most critical enablers of growth. As governments move to digitise land and sea port operations, the focus is shifting from isolated upgrades to connected national ecosystems that deliver visibility, control, and seamless trade flow.
How ICE Borders is redefining the future of African trade
At this year’s IBMATA Border Management & Technologies Summit, Myles Donnelly, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at ICE Tech, will unpack how the ICE Borders platform is transforming border operations across the continent.
The ICE Borders system, powered by ICE Tech, brings together infrastructure, intelligence, and integration in one powerful national platform. From pre-arrival planning and payments to automated traffic management and digital inspection applications, it digitises every step of the border journey, accelerating trade, improving compliance, securing revenue and strengthening national security.
Through AI-driven vehicle classification, automated number-plate recognition, integrated clearance processes, and real-time queue management, ICE Borders replaces manual bottlenecks with data-driven automation. The result is measurable: at Africa’s busiest land borders, clearance times for freight vehicles have dropped from 72 hours to under 3, compliance rates have reached near 100%, and revenue leakage has been dramatically reduced.
But the transformation doesn’t stop at the gate. ICE Borders scales nationally, giving ministries a unified command centre with live dashboards, intelligent reporting, and business insights that drive better decisions. It’s about enabling sovereign control through digital autonomy, empowering African governments to run connected, efficient, and transparent borders.
Myles’ session will showcase real-world deployments and explore how integrated systems can reshape governance, streamline logistics, and unlock regional trade potential. Attendees will gain actionable insights on how real-time automation can secure borders, boost revenue, and redefine national efficiency.
