Inaugural convention brings gamers, developers and creatives together, showcasing Burundi as a rising hub for East African gaming and digital innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Burundi.- Burundi<\/strong> has stepped into the spotlight of East Africa\u2019s gaming and tech scene with the recent TAG CON 2025<\/strong>, its inaugural tech, animation and gaming<\/strong> convention, organised by the technology and digital marketing startup Nuyu Agency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TAG CON 2025 attracted participants from across the region, featuring competitive gaming<\/strong>, 2D and 3D animation workshops, quizzes and interactive tech demonstrations <\/strong>that highlighted Burundi\u2019s emerging creative talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event brought together gamers, developers and creatives<\/strong> at the African Queen Empire in Bujumbura, showcasing local talent through tournaments, animation workshops, cosplay competitions and interactive tech demonstrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prince Musore <\/strong>of Nuyu Agency said: \u201cDespite the long hours and complex preparations<\/strong>, our goal was to provide a platform for Burundi\u2019s gaming and tech talent to connect <\/strong>and showcase their skills. When you see a room full of people learning, competing, laughing, when strangers become a community, you realise the fatigue was an investment<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social media buzzed with excitement <\/strong>following the event. \u201cTAG CON 2025 was a wonderful day of gaming, animation and surprises in Bujumbura,” a user posted. Another added: “Great talking about about tech, animation<\/strong> and gaming in Burundi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musore added: “Burundi is a mobile-first<\/strong>, youth-powered country. Talent <\/strong>is everywhere; infrastructure isn\u2019t. That means events like TAG CON are less than parties, but more like bridges<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TAG CON 2025 did not just entertain, it inspired<\/strong>. By spotlighting gaming and digital innovation<\/strong>, the event positioned Burundi as a rising hub for East African gaming culture and laid the groundwork for future tournaments, developer collaborations and regional partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n
