Since January 2018 we have been organising Learning Journeys to Nairobi, Kenya together with the Africa expert Hans Stoisser. Why? This is where the digital transformation is happening – without us noticing it in Europe.

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\n\n\n
