Africa’s Youth Are Driving The Growth Of A New Tech Sector – The Crypto-economy
Forward IT GIVES me great pleasure to officially welcome you on the occasion of our first edition of Silicon Africa Digital Magazine. As an organisation on a mission to develop the African economy through technology entrepreneurship and technology innovation, we are looking forward to partnering with organisations and individuals across Africa and the globe to make this mission a reality every day. Currently, Africa has potential, but how we change that to practical, measurable change is up to us and how we are willing to collaborate and work together to develop a better future for Africa. The purpose of this magazine is to highlight those who are doing amazing things in the African tech start-up ecosystem. This includes start-ups, corporates, investors, media companies and more. We believe the positive impact
we are making on the African technology entrepreneurship scene is not measured well, and the stories behind it are not told the way they should be.
