Africa is moving from digital connectivity to creating its own tech
Technology has created a lot of opportunities in Africa. Connectivity, disaggregation of information and enabling opportunities.
A boy in Kano now has access to more information than was available at Harvard University 40 years ago. Erik Osiakwan says that entrepreneurs, not government made this happen.
And they'll do more.
He believed that African entrepreneurs will shape the future by creating their own technology. From digital connectivity to creativity.
Erik is an entrepreneur, investor and a consultant for The World Bank. He has worked in 32 African countries setting up high-tech startups.
