OIAS - Open Innovation Africa Summit 2012 by mukina2: 10:10am On May 28, 2012


Today’s Open Innovation Africa Summit (OIAS) in Kenya will drive forward development of the African innovation ecosystem, and result in at least ten viable projects, according to Nokia’s VP for Corporate Relations and Responsibility in the Middle East and Africa, Jussi Hinkkanen.

“I’ve spent a massive amount of time in different conferences over the course of my career, but they didn’t result in anything concrete. We are hosting this summit to drive forward the development of the African eco-system, foster close partnerships between developers and Nokia, and accelerate African leadership capabilities to drive growth of the ICT industry in the region.”

More than 200 government executives, innovators, VC companies, academics and developers from 26 countries across the continent will engage in three days of intense debate on ‘Leadership for Innovation’ at the OIAS in Nairobi, which is hosted by Nokia, Cap Gemini and infoDev, a technology innovation program in the World Bank.

"In Nigeria, mobile penetration is 62% while banking penetration is 15%" - Okoegwale. That gap is more of opportunity than challenge"

Mukino2 you are right, wasted half of your life attending conference without results.
