Ignite is an initiative that will allow African start-ups to pitch their products to a panel of angel investors, mentors and business leaders during the two-day conference taking place at The Forum in Bryanston, Johannesburg from 27-28 October 2011.
These specialist app development workshops, hosted by international Samsung developers, will highlight global trends and best practice. "We aim to promote co-operation, innovation and the exchange of new ideas in technology across Africa so that our innovative products and technologies continue to respond to the real needs and conditions on the continent," said Brett Loubser, B2C Apps Development Lead at Samsung.
"We're using our partnership with Tech4Africa Ignite to inspire new directions and provide the technologies and gadgets that Africa requires. It's about listening to the market, building partnerships and really committing to Africa and its people by providing them with relevant content and apps."
