Black’s Innovation Journey Earns a Spot at the Digital Impact Awards 2025
BLACK has emerged as one of the standout nominees at the 2025 Digital Impact Awards Africa (DIAA), earning a place in the highly competitive Excellent Personal and Home Technology category. The nomination marks a defining moment for the Ugandan consumer electronics brand, highlighting its rapid growth, innovative approach to everyday technology, and rising influence within the digital space.
The Digital Impact Awards Africa, organised by HiPipo, is one of the most prestigious celebrations of digital excellence on the continent. Now in its twelfth edition, the awards honour organisations, platforms, and individuals using technology to shape a more inclusive, innovative, and impactful future. Over the years, DIAA has become a powerful platform for recognising and amplifying brands that are pushing boundaries and BLACK’s nomination is a testament to the brand’s growing impact in the personal and home technology sector.
BLACK’s journey to this stage has been defined by a bold vision: to make high-quality, user-friendly tech accessible to everyday people without compromising on style or performance. From powerful Bluetooth speakers to functional accessories designed to make daily life simpler, the brand has consistently focused on creating products that enhance how people live, connect, and experience technology in their homes. Its approach combines sleek design, reliability, and accessibility and this direction has quickly won over a loyal customer base and positioned BLACK as a brand to watch in the consumer tech market.
The Excellent Personal and Home Technology category, in which BLACK is nominated, recognises brands that are transforming the way people interact with technology in their personal spaces. This includes innovations that make homes smarter, more connected, and more enjoyable. BLACK’s inclusion in this category signals its growing reputation as a brand that not only delivers quality but also understands and responds to the evolving needs of modern consumers. It’s a significant achievement for a brand that has built its identity around functionality, creativity, and a deep understanding of everyday life.
Beyond the nomination itself, BLACK’s presence at DIAA speaks to a larger story about the rise of local tech innovation. It highlights how homegrown brands are no longer playing catch-up but are instead leading conversations about how technology can fit seamlessly into people’s lifestyles. It shows that impactful tech doesn’t always come from established global markets, it can be developed locally by teams who understand their audience and design products that truly resonate with them.
With public voting now open, this is the moment for supporters of homegrown innovation to rally behind Black. Voting runs from 3rd October to 14th November 2025, and every vote counts towards helping the brand secure one of the most respected technology accolades in the region.

As the awards draw closer, all eyes are on BLACK. A brand that continues to prove that technology designed with purpose, creativity, and local understanding can make a lasting impact.
