Africa\u2019S The Hottest Property On The Global Mobile Radar<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Who knows whether it\u2019s due to the Springboks and #BetterTogether, or President Ramaphosa\u2019s profoundly positive \u2018thuma mina\u2019 (\u2018send me\u2019) call, but the common thread throughout AfricaCom\u2019s keynote sessions was the power of collaboration.<\/p>\n

Over 14 000 delegates, 500 exhibitors and 450 speakers later, it\u2019s clear that AfricaCom 2019 that took place in Cape Town last week kicked-off a new sense of shared optimism about the future of mobile technology on the African continent.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter years of talk about potential, there\u2019s a real sense in the mobile industry that Africa is now,\u201d says Devon Meerholz, Chief Creative & Operations Officer at IMIMobile SA. \u201cCoupled with this realisation is the understanding that collaboration is the only way to explore opportunity in Africa,\u201d Mr Meerholz added.<\/p>\n

AfricaCom is annually the best place to meet the most influential innovators driving Africa\u2019s digital transformation. From the Fourth Industrial Revolution to 5G, this technology and telecoms event enables Africa\u2019s ICT industry players to showcase and explore disruptive technologies, connectivity infrastructure, digital services and ICT strategy, all within a highly-relevant African context.<\/p>\n

The above notwithstanding, the overriding theme of AfricaCom 2019 was one of collaboration. This was abundantly evident in three primary ways, according to Mr Meerholz:<\/p>\n

The search for partners – \u201cThe sense we got was of an urgent search by both African and overseas ICT firms for the right local partner for a particular market. Networking really seemed to take on a new urgency this year,\u201d Mr Meerholz commented. The global socioeconomic situation has clearly put Africa\u2019s risk\/reward ratio in perspective. Africa\u2019s looking good, and its about time.<\/p>\n

The quest for case studies – A longtime ICT industry staple, the humble case study is proving especially valuable as foreign and pan-African players seek reliable information on how to do things properly in new markets. \u201cQuality literature was clearly in demand at AfricaCom 2019 as many delegates seemed to be in search of more detailed follow-up information after listening to presentations,\u201d said Mr Meerholz.<\/p>\n

Offering the world\u2019s best – It became obvious last week that Africa was no longer an agreed upon dumping ground for the world\u2019s second-rate infrastructure, handsets and so on. \u201cOnly state-of-the-art featured at AfricaCom 2019 and there was a willingness to explore ways to offer the very best to the one billion human beings who call our continent home,\u201d concluded Mr Meerholz.<\/p>\n
