  • Tech in Africa
    # TIA:EAST Tech In Africa February 2016 Unlocking Business Potential in Frontier Markets From Uber to M-KOPA, Index Ventures to Savannah Fund, what is it about East Africa’s burgeoning tech sector that has companies and investors big and small excited about the region? About this report This report was compiled from speaking to leading sector experts and innovators active on the ground in East Africa. It is a qualitative analysis designed to highlight their insights and perspectives on the trends and challenges that will drive East Africa’s tech sector over the coming years. Who we spoke to I-DEV’s Africa Team spent time with over 30 of the leading actors and innovators from across East Africa’s tech scene– including VCs, global tech companies, entrepreneurs, angels, strategists, incubators and pundits– to paint a real and raw picture of the rapidly emerging technology space in the region. What we learned What we found was an ecosystem at the tipping point, brimming with activity and opportunity, and giving rise to what could be Africa’s most dynamic innovation hub. While it may be slightly behind Nigeria in maturity, the East African tech scene, led by Kenya, is catching up fast. It is about learning on-the-go, developing locally-driven strategies to address challenges, and rapidly piecing together the core building blocks needed to scale. Special Thanks To: I-DEV’s team interviewed over 30 of the leading thinkers, innovators and investors across East Africa’s tech sector, including: Elizabeth Rossiello Kamau Gachigi Nikhil Patel Mbugua
