About

African Tech Roundup is an independent media and insights platform examining global digital transformation through an African lens.

Co-founded in 2015 by executive producer Andile Masuku and Musa Kalenga, the platform curates essential perspectives, convenes influential voices, and equips leaders navigating the complex interplay between worldwide technological change and Africa’s economic realities. Through its work, African Tech Roundup interprets global shifts while illuminating their implications for the continent and its diaspora.

Acting as both a digital and physical village square, we track the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, policy, and innovation as it unfolds globally and across Africa, situating local developments within broader international currents.

Our mission is to make sense of how the emerging digital economy is reshaping — and being reshaped by — African markets, institutions, and industries. We specialise in distilling insights from this dynamic exchange, highlighting how global trends manifest locally and how African responses, adaptations, and innovations reverberate beyond the continent.

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!
