Our Story

Founded in 2020, HornTech emerged from a simple observation: the Horn of Africa's technology ecosystem was bursting with innovation, but these stories weren't being told with the depth and nuance they deserved.

What started as a small blog has grown into the region's most trusted source for technology news, analysis, and insights. We've covered hundreds of startups, interviewed countless innovators, and witnessed firsthand the digital transformation sweeping across Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and beyond.

Our platform serves as a bridge between local tech communities and the global ecosystem, highlighting the remarkable innovations emerging from the region. From fintech solutions transforming financial services to agritech startups revolutionizing farming practices, we document the stories that shape the future of technology in Africa.

We're more than just a news outlet—we're a community platform. Our readers include entrepreneurs, investors, developers, policymakers, and tech enthusiasts who share our passion for innovation and progress. Through our comprehensive coverage, we aim to inspire the next generation of African tech leaders and showcase the incredible talent and potential within our region.

Today, HornTech has grown into a trusted platform that reaches thousands of readers monthly across the region. Our team of dedicated journalists and contributors works tirelessly to bring you the stories that matter—from groundbreaking startups to policy changes that shape the industry.

We believe that technology is not just about products and services—it's about people, communities, and the transformative power of innovation. Every story we publish reflects this belief and our commitment to authentic, impactful journalism.
