CINCINNATI, July 13, 2023 ~ Black Tech Week (BTW) is making a bold move to amplify the stories of Black founders, partners, and ecosystems across the world with the launch of its new media division, Black Tech Weekly.

The organization is partnering with some of the most influential outlets and corporations in the industry including Inc. Magazine, NBCUniversal, Rolling Out and Black Wall Street Times. This collaboration will bring the extraordinary stories of Black innovators to a collective audience of over 100 million people monthly.

Brian Brackeen, co-owner of Black Tech Week said "Black founder stories are not being told with authenticity. Often, the reporting amplifies themes of adversity and struggle , rather than focussing on the innovations and successes." He added that through Black Tech Weekly they intend to deliberately change this narrative and realign the way mainstream media frames Black business culture.

The partnership with NBCUniversal will tap into their massive scale; premium, trusted IP; and highly interactive audiences - creating custom content and exclusive, must-see event moments that will be produced by NBC's Brand Studio. At Black Tech Week's conference this July and beyond, audiences will have access to nearly 20 pieces of engaging, curated content wherever they choose to tune-in across NBCUniversal's One Platform ecosystem from linear to digital and more on CNBC, MSNBC, NBC News and Peacock as well as Black Tech Week's Channel on the Apple News app.
