East Africa has built a real software industry. Nairobi's iHub kicked off the regional tech scene more than a decade ago, Kigali is positioning itself as a continental tech hub, and Kampala and Dar es Salaam have growing communities of developers, designers, and product people. The sector spans bespoke software studios, SaaS startups, IT support firms, cloud-service resellers, cybersecurity specialists, telecoms, and hardware distributors.

EABD lists software development companies, web and mobile app studios, IT support firms, cloud and DevOps consultancies, cybersecurity providers, telecom operators and ISPs, and hardware retailers. Verified profiles show technology stacks, case studies (where the client has consented), team size and reviews, which are the practical signals a CTO needs to shortlist a partner.
