Building something in Africa? We want to hear about it. Tech Across Africa exists to tell the stories of companies and people who do not always get the spotlight.

What we want to hear about

  • A product launch, new feature or market expansion
  • A funding round, grant, acquisition or partnership
  • Your founder journey, including the hard parts
  • Tech talent with a story: engineers, designers, product managers and operators
  • Ecosystem news: events, programmes, hubs, policy changes
  • News tips about the African tech industry

What to send

  • Your name, role and company
  • A short summary of the story (3 to 5 sentences)
  • Why it matters now and who it affects
  • Key facts and figures you can verify
  • Links to your website, product and any press materials
  • High resolution photos or logos you have the rights to share

How to submit

Email info@techacrossafrica.com with the subject line Story submission. For news tips use the subject line News tip. We can protect the identity of sources when needed.

What happens next

Our editors review every submission. We reply when a story is a fit, usually within five working days. Submitting a story does not guarantee coverage, and we never charge for news coverage. If you want guaranteed placement, see our sponsored options.
