Thanks for having us! Great Event!
Organic Conversations & Demos at the First Demo Fridays Last Friday, a dynamic tech community, including designers, engineers, business executives, product managers, and tech enthusiasts, gathered at the MEST Africa Campus for the inaugural Demo Fridays hosted by Building Bytes. This event marked a milestone in our mission to foster growth and innovation in the tech startup ecosystem. The event kicked off with a series of impressive demos from some of Ghana's most promising startups. Each team had the opportunity to showcase their new products and features to an audience of early adopters, tech professionals, and ecosystem enablers. Beyond the impactful product demos and insightful panel discussions, the standout feature of the evening was the organic flow of conversations and feedback. The spontaneous and genuine interactions among attendees showcased the collaborative spirit of our tech community. We are grateful to our panel members, Irina Oduro, Stefan Froelich & Benjamin Sackey for honoring our invitation with their valuable time and impressive knowledge. Their contributions have left a lasting impact, inspiring all who attended to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the tech industry. Special recognition goes to Cecil Senna Nutakor for his invaluable presence and profound knowledge shared during the event. Reflecting on the success of this inaugural edition, we are more motivated than ever to foster innovation and growth within Ghana's tech startup ecosystem. Demo Fridays will be recurring, with the next event scheduled for September. We anticipate more evenings of organic conversations, groundbreaking demos, and community building ahead.
