4. Kenya: Where tech meets culture
Kenya's entrepreneurs are using technology to scale up their imaginative businesses, writes
Gwen Ansell.
In 1985, Cameroonian jazzman Manu Dibangu cut an album called Electric Africa. His purpose
was explicit: "I wanted the world to know there is an electric Africa; our culture is not just
something in a museum."
And one of the most intriguing presentations came from a young Kenyan cultural entrepreneur,
Mark Kaigwa, taking his audience on a tour of what he dubbed "Africa's silicon savannah"
Kaigwa is a Nairobi-based consultant working across film, new media and mobile platforms.
This year, he's one of Forbes Magazine's "30 under 30" top young African entrepreneurs.
