About

African Tech Roundup is a bold, Pan-African media and insights organisation with a global perspective.

Co-founded in 2015 by executive producer Andile Masuku and Musa Kalenga, the platform curates essential content, convenes influential voices, and equips leaders who are actively shaping Africa's technology, entrepreneurship, and innovation ecosystems. Through its work, African Tech Roundup helps define and amplify the continent's growing influence on the global stage.

Acting as both a digital and physical village square, we track the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship and innovation across the continent, while positioning these developments within a global context.

Our mission is to make sense of the emerging digital economy’s collision with—and transformation of—Africa’s traditional economic verticals. We specialise in distilling insights from this intersection, highlighting how African innovations are driving local change while contributing to broader regional and global socioeconomic progress.

We deliver value through:

Incisive podcasts and syndicated op-eds
Provocative omnichannel media projects
Exclusive events and workshops that connect African and Africa-focused innovators
Bespoke ecosystem interventions, bridging local insights with global best practices
In-depth conference coverage and analysis

What sets us apart is our ability to distill essential insights, intuitively map networks and foster invaluable connections at the intersection of the digital economy and the mainstream ‘real’ economy. We bridge these two spheres, offering a unique view on how digital innovations are reshaping traditional industries and creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs and established businesses alike.

Join our diverse, international community as we explore and narrate Africa’s tech-enabled future and its growing influence on the global stage—both online and offline!
