Startups across Africa are helping to strengthen collaborations among African states even as they provide unique solutions to address economic and social problems in their respective countries, a new report by La French Tech and AfricaCom has submitted. The report is titled: ‘Collaboration, co-operation and co-creation.’
While African countries struggle with building economic bridges at regional and sub-regional levels, startups are already looking across borders to collaborate. The results are slowing coming out even as the startups widen the reach for their solutions.
From data-driven insights for SMEs and e-Commerce platforms for the Diaspora, to food aid solutions and pioneering prenatal technology, La French Tech and AfricaCom explore how cross-border collaboration has successfully facilitated economic development and social empowerment on the African continent.
Whether it be between governments, regulators, large-scale multinationals, small enterprises or startups – forming cohesive working relationships and partnerships have become vital to Africa rising.
In a brand new report (http://get.knect365.com/connecting-africa-la-french-tech-startup-report/?utm_source=press-release&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=connecting-africa-content-startup-press-release&utm_term=read-report&utm_content=startup-report), the Connecting Africa series of leading Pan-African telecommunications and technology events and pioneering innovation initiative La French Tech have collaborated to showcase some of the most promising startups disrupting the African tech ecosystem.
