Emmanuel Noah

Raised in Accra, Ghana, Emmanuel has witnessed first hand the bottlenecks present in the country’s land administration system. After his studies at the University of Michigan, Emmanuel returned to Ghana in 2015 where he served as a Government Technology Specialist at the Ministry of Lands.

It was during this time that Emmanuel was able to foster strong government relations at the Commission and build a team of fellow innovators to tackle the problems the LAP was unable to address, and hence, Benben was born. As of today, Emmanuel continues to guide Benben and currently oversees its current projects with various financial institutions.

Based in Accra, Ghana, Benben is a digital land transaction platform that aims to tackle the inefficiencies of land administration to promote investment, reduce poverty and encourage transparent land resource management. Benben leverages Blockchain technology to provide governments, financial institutions, realtors and the general public instant access to property information through an easy to use searchable interface, enabling them to make trusted and secure digital land transactions such as mortgage lodgement, ownership searches, conveyancing and property payments.
