Technology Innovation in Africa
Mobile phones are one of the great success stories of the world, and nowhere is this more evident than in Africa. More people in Africa have a mobile phone than access to electricity. But that is not holding back how Africa solves problems, or innovates.
Companies that don’t adopt a mobile strategy are going to be on the outside looking in, as innovation (from mobile money to ride-sharing) becomes the new norm for doing business. Africa is not just a mobile-first continent; it is a mobile-only continent.
Guest Speaker: Toby Shapshak, Speaker on Innovation in Africa, Editor-in-Chief and Publisher, Stuff Magazine South Africa, Columnist, Forbes and Financial Mail |
