Vennote Technologies, an African tech integrator, has partnered with Tech Revolution Africa to define how the continent can better leverage technology to build globally competitive economies from consumer to exporter.
The firm’s sentiment reflects a growing consensus that for the continent to secure its digital future, homegrown companies must move beyond simply adopting foreign technology and start developing and exporting their own intellectual property.
“Our mission at Vennote is simple but bold: to prove that African-born technology solutions can compete globally. Tech Revolution Africa 2.0 is more than a conference; it’s a platform to challenge perceptions, showcase innovation, and co-create strategies that move Africa from technology consumers to technology exporters,” said Azuka Onyia, CEO of Vennote Technologies.

The second edition of TRA, themed ‘The Big Bold Step,’ aims to bring together over 5,000 delegates, including global tech founders, investors, and policymakers, to define how the continent can better leverage technology from AI to climate-conscious innovation to build resilient, globally competitive.
Since its debut in 2025, TRA has established itself as a critical meeting point for the African tech ecosystem.
David Ogebe, co-convener of TRA, noted that the partnership with Vennote reinforces the conviction that Africa needs its own stage to tell its own story.
“This partnership with Vennote reinforces that belief. Together, we’re inspiring collaboration across the ecosystem to accelerate Africa’s digital leap,” he said.
Vennote noted that this represents an opportunity to become the technology backbone for Africa’s institutions by backing words with tangible commitment to the ecosystem’s development.
