TechAfrica News: A New Era Begins with Our New Logo

After eight incredible years, TechAfrica News is proud to announce a significant change that marks a new chapter in our journey—a fresh, transformative logo that embodies our evolution and commitment to innovation. Our previous logo has been a symbol of our growth and success over the years, but as we continue to cover the diverse and dynamic future of Africa, we felt it was time for a modern update. 

This new logo is not just a design change; it reflects the essence of who we are today—a diverse and forward-thinking team dedicated to highlighting Africa’s rapid transformation in the tech landscape. TechAfrica News is about modern and transformative Africa, the one that leads in innovation, not the one left behind. Our new logo represents this spirit of progress and collective growth, as we continue to cover the stories that matter in shaping Africa’s future and represent the young and diverse communities on the continent.  

“As we step into this new era with our fresh new logo, we're not just rebranding— we're reaffirming our commitment to telling the stories of Africa and its journey to become a leader in innovation and transformation. This is just the beginning of our journey, so stay tuned for what is coming next!”  - Akim Benamara, Founder & Chief Editor of TechAfrica News 

After years of consistent growth, we're excited to celebrate a major milestone, becoming a thriving hub for engaged professionals. This isn’t just about numbers—it's about the community we've fostered in Africa and the relationships we've cultivated. We've built strong partnerships with major industry events in the region, ensuring our audience receives unparalleled coverage of the most important news and stories shaping their industries. 

“This rebrand is not just about a new logo; it’s about reflecting the modern, innovative Africa we cover every day. We’re committed to telling the stories that showcase Africa’s role as a global tech leader.”  - Slaveya Tuzsuzova, Commercial Director, TechAfrica News  

We step into this new era, but the commitment to our audience stays the same – to be the leading, impartial, independent voice in the African industry, that drives meaningful conversations around digital transformation of the continent and beyond.     In the coming weeks, we’re excited to introduce the relaunch of the TechAfrica News website, along with several new partnerships that will further enrich the conversation around digital transformation in Africa. Stay tuned!  

The TechAfrica News Podcast  

Over the past two years, we’ve travelled over 37,000 km across Africa and the Middle East, and conducted more than 135 interviews, featuring everyone from ministers to industry leaders and innovators, in both the public and private sectors, who are shaping Africa’s digital future. These discussions have provided valuable insights, but our 10-minute format often falls short of the depth these important topics and diverse opinions deserve. 

That’s why we’re excited to announce the upcoming launch of the TechAfrica News Podcast - a platform that will offer exclusive, in-depth video interviews with key figures from both the public and private sectors. These extended conversations will explore the key trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping digital transformation across the continent. By sharing narratives from both the public and private sectors, we aim to provide diverse perspectives that can serve as a blueprint for future innovation, delivering the insights our audience has been craving. 

“Your story is truly powerful when it's told by you. The new Africa must be narrated by Africans, for Africans. When TechAfrica News tells the story of Africa, it resonates deeply, because it's authentically told by us.” - Lacina Konè, CEO of Smart Africa   

A big thank you   

We also extend our deepest gratitude to our amazing team (Aayushya Ranjan, Amina Diallo, Dillon Van Der Westhuizen, Florian Foerderer, Jon Kambani, Joyce Onyeagoro, Kay-Lyne Wolfenden, Kwame Mensah, Tariq Okoro, Zola Dlamini), industry professionals, and media experts who have worked tirelessly to bring TechAfrica News to where it is today.  

We are incredibly thankful for the community and industry support we have. So many amazing people and companies have been a part of our journey so far, from satellite operators to telcos, associations and technology vendors – thank you for appreciating and trusting our work.

Your engagement, support and feedback has brought us this far, and we’re more excited than ever to embark on this next chapter with you.   

The future is bright, and we’re excited to have you with us on this journey. Stay with us as we continue to grow, bringing you authentic stories and success from across Africa as we cover what it means to be at the forefront of the digital revolution. 

Thank you for being a part of the TechAfrica News journey!
