SUBA Is Official Photo Sharing App At UK Event Honoring Ghanaian President

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, October 22, 2014--- Suba, an event-based iOS and Android mobile app that allows everyone at fun social gatherings to see and share photos together in one central photo stream will be introduced in the United Kingdom as the official image app at an event held at KPMG HQ by the Ghana High Commission featuring a keynote address by His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, President, Republic of Ghana.

The event will be held on 23rd October 2014 to a select audience of Ghanaian Ministers of State and legal, finance and investment professionals from the UK and Ghana including the Chairman, ECOBANK (GH) Ltd., and the CEOs of Stanbic Bank, Ghana and Ghana National Petroleum Corp.

Suba, developed by Intruptiv Technologies is a startup founded by two Ghanaian tech entrepreneurs at The Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST) based in Accra. “With the release of the Suba app, Intruptiv has emerged as an innovative Ghanaian tech company, whose success reflects the very best of the ambitions contained within His Excellency's keynote address. As UK partner, Screen Nation is proud to be able to showcase the sensational Suba App as our official image app for this prestigious event, as its very existence is a clear indication of the benefits that can accrue from foreign direct investment into Ghana and Africa,” says event organizer Charles Thompson MBE, CEO of Screen Nation Media Group who produced the event in partnership with The Ghana High Commission and KPMG African Caribbean Network in conjunction with the Black Solicitors Network (BSN).

H.E. John Dramani Mahama, a highly regarded African leader will present a keynote address titled: Political Stability with Rule of Law as a Pre-Requisite for attracting Foreign Direct Investment that will be followed by networking and an interactive Q&A session, moderated by Richard Iferenta, Partner, KPMG.

“We are thrilled to be regarded as a reflection of the future of Ghanaian business in the technology sector. We envision Suba as a world class product that will be adopted by tech enthusiasts and mobile app users around the world. It is truly an honor to be included in this very special event and present Suba to President Mahama and the esteemed audience of Ghanaian and international business leaders,” says Nelson Klutse, CEO of Intruptiv/Suba who along with partner Eric Hackman also developed the highly popular Ghana Constitution app which made the legacy of Ghana's independence digitally accessible.

Klutse and Hackman formed Intruptiv/Suba after completing a 2 year intensive program at The Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST) which provides training, investment and incubation to aspiring tech entrepreneurs, with the goal of creating globally successful companies that create wealth and jobs locally in Africa.

Suba's unique features help event attendees relive the best moments from social gatherings in a fun, exciting way:

Event-based: Time and place are a lot more central to the Suba experience than in other photo apps. All photo streams are anchored to a specific location, and each stream tells the story of people celebrating together at a particular moment in time.

Going beyond the Friend List: The best events bring strangers together, which is great for meeting new people, but not so great for accessing the great pictures taken by folks you might never see again. With Suba, a physical location - not a “Like” or a “Follow” - connects event attendees to each other, and so strangers can quickly share photos with everyone else who was there without having to hastily scribble down contact details.

Superior photo-viewing experience: The Suba stream is a new, highly engaging photo-viewing experience that helps users relive the moment in a vivid, engrossing way. As event attendants flick through everyone's snapshots, they can easily save their favourites, as well as share their own photos with everyone in the stream.

Rich social interaction within images: Where other social networks focus on merely freezing a moment in time, Suba delights in bringing moments to life. Suba does this with its “Doodle” feature, which allows friends to scribble, mark up, and otherwise add a personal touch to the memory described by the photo.

Suba is currently available as a free app in the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. Download: http://subaapp.com/download
