Description

A Technology Art and Culture company with a mission of empowering Africa using interactive media.We are creating interactive experiences for Africa that inspire empower educate and entertain.

History

Weza Interactive Entertainment was formed early 2016 during the development of Mzito our flagship product.We realised that there were no interactive experiences created for Africa or about Africa and decided to take on that challenge.However, creating interactive experiences was not enough we wanted to also use this medium as a way to empower, inspire and entertain our player.

We as the Weza Interactive Entertainment team are humbled to also announce that we are winners of the French Tech Ticket.

What is the French Tech Ticket? It is a program where 70 startups from all over the world are selected and will join 41 startup incubators in France for a period of 12 Months to grow their companies and their products.

We are both humbled and honoured to not only represent Kenya and Africa in this program but the growing gaming industry in the continent. Due to this our team will be split working from both Lille, France and Nairobi, Kenya.

During this 12 month program Weza Interactive Ent. will be incubated at Plaine Images.A workspace for creative and economic development dedicated to digital media and creative industries. It is an ecosystem composed of thriving start-ups and companies offering a vast array of skills.

We believe 2017 will be a game changer for us and the gaming industry in Kenya. A lot of great things are coming. The Awakening has begun and it began in Africa.
