An Africa Independent Search Engine Connecting African Tech Industry Launched

lundi 29 mars 2021

South African-based digital agency, Mashcor, has launched an indigenous African search engine aimed at connecting the continent’s burgeoning tech industry to the world.

The new search engine can be accessed here : https://mashcor.com

The new search engine has compiled over 2 million African websites to date and is entirely independent of other global search engines.

With a population of over 1.2 billion, the African continent has the potential to rival other populous nations such as China and India. Historic events, however, have limited this potential but the past decade has seen an upsurge of investment in many industries across Africa.

Of particular note is the African tech industry, and Maschor’s new search engine was created to combine this growth across the continent in a more coordinated manner.

There are now over 700 technology innovation hubs across the African continent and the industry has seen a growth of over 50% in recent years.

Such growth has not gone unnoticed, with Microsoft (for example) investing over $100 million dollars in a new development center. African Industry leaders are eager to retain independence, and Mashcor’s new search engine is one example of such efforts.
