Online-Workshop Part 1:
Rwanda – the Proof-of-Concept Country
What do companies that operate successfully in Rwanda have in common?
They have chosen Rwanda to innovate!
The country has a government with a clear vision and a plan, knowing which problems should be solved first. It proactively supports companies on their innovation journey when they contribute to the development of the country
Success stories have been e.g. the worldwide first cargo drone line, a highly advanced e-health system and German Volkswagen innovating with new mobility concepts.
Agile Approaches
Rwanda is “leapfrogging” from a rural to a digital society. Innovative companies find a greenfield for discovering real customer value with modern services. A very good setting for the “test-and-learn” phase of developing new business models.
Why this Online-Workshop?
To get quick and profound insights into Rwanda’s business opportunities through direct interaction with local players.
During the workshop we
- put in context the digital transformation in Rwanda
- explain and describe 3 successful business cases in detail
- discuss opportunities and the nature of Rwanda as a “proof-of-concept-country”
- and talk to the Rwanda Development Board, the official one-stop-shop for all investors.
This 2-hour workshop is moderated by Hans Stoisser, co-founder of NextAfrica and Aphrodice Mutangana, General Manager of K-Lab, a unique open technology hub in Kigali/Rwanda. We will directly broadcast from Vienna and Kigali.
Who is attending?
- Entrepreneurs who are interested in African markets
