đź’ˇ Tech reporting in Africa has evolved significantly in the last decade. From stories of fundraising and documenting the business of tech to scrutinising tech startup culture on the continent, this evolution is evidence that the African tech ecosystem has come a long way and opportunities abound.
Still, much more can be done to provide a detailed overview of the industry to investors, operators, founders and other players. Some of the hindrances include the lack of trust between founders and journalists, and the lack of knowledge about the role these stories play in amplifying the ecosystem.
In this session, seasoned journalists and media experts will highlight the role of media in building the African tech ecosystem, how tech companies and the tech industry can leverage tech coverage and practical ways founders and their teams can build better relationships with journalists.
