Nairobi - the innovation lab for East Africa
Ben White has written a great post on the rising power of Nairobi as a web and ICT hub for East Africa - nay, Africa as a whole. He points to several reasons for this:
- iHub: which I agree is a great space to get ICT ideas going. Doubt it? Then look up "Home Brew Computer Club
- The ICANN meeting, which saw the launch of the .af domain name campaign
- Tandaa, and by extension the Kenya ICT Board and Google Kenya
- The Map Kibera project to map the thirteen different Kibera towns.
