Celebrating The African Tech Round-Up's First Birthday!

Published: April 11, 2016, 6:39 a.m.

The African Tech Round-up turns one today, and it\u2019s difficult not be sentimental. \n\nIt\u2019s been an incredibly rewarding year! We set out to provide some much-needed coverage of the biggest digital, tech and innovation news stories from the African continent\u2014 minus all the PR-soaked click-bait and consumer-driven tech chatter one tends to find all over the web. We\u2019ve certainly done our best to deliver on that mandate.\n\nIn producing the show over the last 52 weeks, we hope that like us, you\u2019ve come to better understand the intricacies of Africa\u2019s emerging tech and innovation scene, and that you\u2019ve found the discussions and debates we\u2019ve engaged in as interesting and enlightening as we did.\n\nTo celebrate our anniversary, on this week\u2019s episode, Tefo Mohapi and I will be sharing audio highlights from the past year. Do join us in revisiting great chats we\u2019ve had with some of the more memorable guests we\u2019ve had on the show-- folks like Rebecca Enonchong, Emeka Okoye, Dominique Collett-Antolik, Mbwana Alliy, and others.\n\nWe\u2019d like to thank you for supporting this podcast by listening in every week, sharing it with other people, and engaging with us on social media, via email and by sending us audio voice notes that we shared on past episodes of the show. We\u2019re excited to witness the community that is forming around this platform. Let\u2019s keep talking!\n\nFinally, we\u2019d like to dedicate everything we\u2019ve so far achieved, and everything we purpose to do going forward to you, and all the other incredible people of the Motherland who continue to work tirelessly in trenches of leading firms and emerging startups alike, to make Africa great. \n\nMusic Credits:\nMusic by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)\nMusic licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0
