TechTrends, Econews And The GreenShift Podcast Land BAKE 2025 Nominations - How To Vote For Us
As the BAKE Awards open their public ballots, TechTrendsKE and its sister platforms enter the contest with work shaped by a year of steady reporting and a community that keeps turning up to read, listen, and argue back
BAKE Awards 2025: The BAKE Awards enter another cycle with a long history behind them. The competition has been part of Kenya’s digital publishing space since 2012 and has grown into the only national platform that recognises locally produced online content. It has expanded steadily. In 2019 the organisers recorded more than fifteen thousand submissions and more than a million public votes. The participation levels show how firmly the awards sit within the country’s creative rhythm.
The process is straightforward. Entries open to the public, judges select five finalists per category, and voters decide the outcome once the shortlist is announced. The categories range widely, covering fashion, health, photography, corporate work, and specialist beats that have gained prominence as new platforms emerge. Any Kenyan creator or Kenya-based brand can enter as long as its work remains active and accessible.
This year, TechTrendsKE, Econews, and The GreenShift Podcast appear among the nominees. Their inclusion shows how different approaches to coverage can coexist within the same space and how audiences follow these layers of reporting.
Where Each Nomination Falls In This Year’s Categories
TechTrendsKE features in the technology creator category. The platform has tracked Kenya’s technology and business environment for years, covering product developments, policy movements, enterprise tools, and long-term market patterns. It has become a meeting point for industry figures who use it to map out opportunities and understand how new tools affect their operations. The nomination reflects this steady presence within the field.
The GreenShift Podcast has been placed in the environmental creator category alongside Econews. Both entries approach sustainability through different lenses. The podcast, hosted by Nixon Kanali, uses weekly conversations to explore how technology and resource management intersect across the continent. Its guests include climate tech founders, policy voices, and people directly confronting environmental pressure points.
Econews, which is part of the same media group, reports on conservation work, energy transitions, waste management systems, and policy debates that shape how communities address environmental stress. Its coverage gives readers a grounded sense of what these developments mean in practice. Their pairing within the same category demonstrates the breadth of the sustainability beat and how audiences follow these stories across various formats, including long-form reporting and conversational content.
The Role Of TechTrendsKE In The Broader Ecosystem
TechTrendsKE sits within TechTrends Media and has built its identity on steady, practical reporting. It covers developments that shape business decisions, and it highlights opportunities that emerge within the ICT space. Many readers use it to refine their own strategies or understand how new tools are entering the market.
Over time it has become a familiar meeting ground for people in the industry. Leaders share their experiences, compare notes, and look toward areas where technology may solve long-standing problems. The publication’s work is part of why its nomination holds weight. It reflects consistent reporting rather than a single moment of visibility.
How The GreenShift Podcast Extends The Story
The GreenShift Podcast adds another layer to TechTrends Media’s work. Its format gives guests room to outline their efforts without rushing through the complexity. Episodes move through topics such as clean energy adoption, financing models for sustainable projects, circular economy practices, and approaches that help farmers adapt to changing conditions. The podcast creates a space where specialists can explain what they are building and the constraints that shape their decisions.
Its placement alongside Econews forms a combined sustainability track within the group. Econews brings reported coverage. The podcast adds conversational depth. Together they give audiences a fuller view of how environmental work is unfolding across the region.
