The iAfrica Story: A New Chapter for Africa.com
For years, Africa.com has been connecting the continent’s vibrancy to the world through news, culture, and opportunity. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce the newest member of the Africa.com family: iAfrica, our dedicated hub for artificial intelligence and technological innovation across the continent.
iAfrica was born from a bold vision: to spotlight Africa’s tech revolution at a time when AI is reshaping industries and African innovators are stealing the global stage. From Lagos to Nairobi, Cape Town to Kigali, our continent is buzzing with startups, coders, and visionaries who are solving real-world problems with cutting-edge tech. Yet too often, their stories go untold—or get lost in translation. That’s where iAfrica comes in. As Africa’s startup ecosystem soars and AI unlocks new possibilities, iAfrica is here to amplify these voices, unpack the trends, and build a community of dreamers and doers. Backed by Africa.com’s legacy of excellence, our team of passionate editors (watch for their intros soon!) is ready to make iAfrica the pulse of African innovation.
