Hooza Media

🎶 Shaping the Future of Music in #Rwanda and #Africa 🌍 💡 At Hooza Media (Forbes Africa Top 10 2019), we’ve always believed in the power of music to inspire, connect, and transform lives. 📲 From pioneering innovative broadcast solutions to leveraging cutting-edge digital platforms, our mission has been to support a thriving environment for the African music industry. 💼 In November, we were proud to participate in the Music In Africa Foundation ACCES 2024 conference here in Kigali—a space where stakeholders united to share knowledge, discover talent, and celebrate the unique diversity of African music. 📈 As early champions of intellectual property rights and distribution in Rwanda, we have worked tirelessly to provide artists with visibility, monetization, and protection—empowering them to succeed on a global stage. Our partnership with Sony Music Publishing and The Orchard reflects this vision, bringing secure and innovative solutions to music creators across Africa. 💡 Together, let’s continue to build a vibrant music ecosystem that values creativity, ensures fairness, and celebrates African talent worldwide. #MusicInAfrica #HoozaMedia #MusicInnovation #AfricaRising #MusicDistribution https://lnkd.in/ehEt9x7X

🚀 Thrilled to share my experience at the #ICANN80 High Level Government Meeting in #Kigali! Over 50 government representatives gathered to discuss Internet governance and digital inclusion. I had the honor of meeting the German delegation led by the Minister of Transport and ICT, Dr. Volker Wissing. 🤝 We delved into the exciting collaboration between Hooza Media and Deutsche Welle, the German public, state owned broadcaster, bringing content through low-tech mobile phone solutions to rural African communities. In Tanzania, our Kiswahili service reaches an impressive 50,000 subscribers who access local news, education, and entertainment on their feature phones in voice format, without the need for internet. This initiative underscores the essential role of innovation in digital inclusion and grassroots participation in social discourse. 📱 The Hooza Mobile Governance service showcases Rwanda's potential for fostering innovative solutions that can thrive across the continent. Currently, we operate in 17 African countries and Haiti, providing a cutting-edge mobile solution for easy access to information, combating #FakeNews and disinformation from an African perspective. 🌍 Additionally, we discussed the pivotal role of the European Business Chamber in Rwanda in creating a conducive business ecosystem, attracting growing investment from the EU private sector. #DigitalInclusion #Innovation #InternetGovernance #MobileGovernance #AfricaTech #FactChecking #HoozaMedia #DW #BusinessGrowth #EUInvestment
