Utanzania ni nini?
A sneak peak of the launch yesterday at the National Museum.
We explored the stories behind kaunda suit, singeli music, and the Swahili we use today.
PS: We are still on today.
Karibuni, and let's share more on Utanzania ni nini?
I dont think this is true. If we look over amount of funding raised by our Stsrtups and how much of it came from aids/grants, you realize its quite a little. Though donor led programs and its events are designed to maximize PR, and thats why you see visibility and so much noise, you will think thats a whole ecosystem.
Tanzania innovation ecosystem is grant led.
Proof: Innovation week key partners.
A grant-led ecosystem can accidentally create “programme entrepreneurs” rather than entrepreneurs.
😁Let’s meet at innovation week 2026
On August 7, 2026 our residents under Nukta Lab Graduate Residency Program ( Deusdedith Kakorozya, Jonas Remmy and Method Allen) represented Nukta Africa at the Elezea Jam Session, hosted by OnaStories in Dar es Salaam.
#NuktaAfrica#Elezea#Storytelling#OnaStories
At @NuktaAfrica, we believe in amplifying voices that matter. This session reaffirmed that mission and sparked new ideas for collaborations ahead.
Grateful to the Elezea team and @OnaStories for the invitation, the warmth and the vision.
The digital future of Tanzania is being written right now and women are leading the narrative.
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming, invite-only Tanzania Women and Technology Stakeholders Roundtable 2026! This exclusive gathering brings together ecosystem leaders, change-makers, and visionaries under a vital theme: Women Shaping an Inclusive, Safe, and Equitable Digital Future.
We are incredibly honored to have the brilliant @tulanana Co-founder & Director of @OnaStories , guiding this high-level dialogue as our official facilitator. Her expertise in digital innovation and powerful storytelling will undoubtedly spark the actionable insights needed to drive real change.

🇹🇿Tanzania is about to finalize one of the largest energy deals in African history.
Equinor, ExxonMobil, and Shell are meeting in Dar es Salaam this week for the final round of negotiations on a $42 billion LNG project.
The hard part is already done... Commercial terms agreed and Tax framework settled.
What's left is turning the handshake into legally binding contracts.
💡Tanzania sits on massive offshore natural gas reserves that have been waiting for development for over a decade.
This project would build the infrastructure to liquefy that gas and export it globally creating one of Africa's largest LNG export hubs.
Right now the world is desperately hunting for LNG supply outside the Gulf(Qatar mainly)
Tanzania is about to enter that market with $42 billion of committed infrastructure and 3 of the most credible operators on earth behind it.
Another node on the new energy map and one that bypasses Hormuz entirely.

The influence of three famous writers...
1) Bob Dylan: Changed pop music. Gave us the images to understand our weird and industrial urban environment.
2) Marshall McLuhan: He understood before anybody else that the media we use have spiritual dimensions that we experience, but don't explain.
3) Charles Baudelaire: All of us have a feeling that we're going downhill and can't stop it at times, and Baudelaire turns that into the subject of his poetry.

Talk to a top-tier creative and chances are, you’ll be blown away by how prolific they are in their consumption: The musician who listens to 10 albums a week, the designer who’s visited antique stores in 57 countries, the architect who’s living room is stacked with piles of reference guides, the writer who’s read 1,000 novels, the filmmaker who watches 400 movies per year. The method varies, but the core pattern stays the same… it’s constant consumption, day after day.
"Make something people want" sounds obvious, but not doing it is the most common mistake founders make. I explained why I made it in the essay where I coined the term. I didn't understand the market I was building for, so I was wrong about what it wanted.

Rules are for people afraid of judgment.
We create procedures, so we don't have to think. But excellence requires subjective judgment.
If no one can get in trouble, no one can do anything great.
