You don\u2019t change culture in a seminar room.<\/strong> You change it by taking people out of their usual ways of thinking.
That\u2019s why we take leaders to places where a shift in mindset is visible on every street corner: Welcome to Nairobi \u2013 Africa\u2019s Silicon Savannah.

Africa has skipped all conventional technologies<\/strong> and landed with 1.2 billion inhabitants directly in the mobile age. This was made possible by the first African world market leader m-pesa \u2013 Safaricom’s subsidiary that has made mobile money the continent’s most attractive means of payment. An economic area has emerged here that shows Europeans what digitalisation, agility and a start-up mentality can achieve. With an internet coverage that is one place ahead of Austria.

The Learning Journeys are both a source of inspiration and a networking platform.<\/strong> Kenyan best practice examples on infrastructure, mobile money, health, energy and education will be visited and heard. A city tour and safari complete the trip. Networking with representatives of the local middle class will be a top priority – the first partnerships are already on their way.<\/p>\n

Identifire\u00ae organizes these Learning Journeys together with ECOTEC. Find upcoming dates and further details at nextafrica.cc.<\/p>\n

You think the idea is cool, but still have questions? We are looking forward to hear from you!<\/strong><\/h4>\n
