TECH dot AFRICA is a pan‑African technology publication focused on the continent’s digital economy, infrastructure and consumer tech. It reports on internet policy and infrastructure, telecoms and mobile, broadcast and satellite TV, fintech and startups, and the products and services shaping everyday digital life. The outlet publishes news, market analysis, interviews with industry figures, product and service reviews, and practical guides tailored to African realities.
Its origins date to July 2004, when Mobile Africa launched and began chronicling the rise of mobile on the continent. Over time, archives from davidajao.com (2006) and techbaron.com (2014) were folded into a single platform, giving the publication two decades of searchable coverage under the TECH dot AFRICA banner. Longstanding contributor and editor Oluniyi D. Ajao anchors much of the reporting alongside guest writers across the region.
Coverage ranges from governance at bodies such as AFRINIC and the growth of internet exchange points, to the rollout of cloud and data‑centre services and the business of streaming and pay‑TV. Reviews and explainers regularly look at devices, connectivity options and digital services available in African markets.
TECH dot AFRICA serves a broad audience of technology professionals, entrepreneurs, students and policymakers. It operates as a remote newsroom and recruits across Anglophone Africa, allowing it to follow developments from Accra to Nairobi to Johannesburg while keeping a clear, independent voice on the continent’s tech landscape.
