Eric Bemba is a Congolese entrepreneur active in technology and mobility. He founded Wiikko, a shopping and delivery platform that allows users to order products from restaurants and stores and receive them at an address of their choice in Kinshasa.

The company launched Wiikko in 2019 as a mobile application available on major online app stores. The platform targets a broad audience familiar with social media and evolving digital consumption trends. Users select their items, and the Wiikko team manages the process from preparation to delivery.

By simplifying ordering, tracking and delivery, Wiikko acts as an intermediary between merchants, restaurateurs and customers. The platform also enables consumers to discover new stores, products and promotional offers. For businesses, the platform provides additional visibility, order management tools and a logistics service that extends operations to customers’ homes.

He joined EY Paris in 2013 as a consultant in audit, advisory, tax and legal services. He returned to Kinshasa in 2016 and joined Compagnie Financière du Congo as a consultant. He then became head of development at SESOMO Services, a human resources services provider, in 2017.
