The pace at which innovative technology is traveling across Africa is incredible; it is reshaping how Africans consume financial products, consume media content, invest in innovation and build the cities they live in. From Rwanda to Cape Town, Nairobi to Lagos, the continent’s strive for innovation and development in Financial Technology and payment systems is impressive. This has been fostered by the increasing rate of mobile penetration across Africa. Will Africa become the new global hotbed of innovation?

This November, join leaders from across the world in Nigeria for Africa’s flagship conference on innovation with highly thematic conversations and cross-industry thought leadership sessions on Smart Payments, Smart Cities, Smart Agric, Smart Content and Smart Corporations.

Bogus Audited Statements Are Holding Africa Back – Harvard Business Review – Ndubuisi Ekekwe

0

The Great Recession revealed one of the weakest links in Africa’s quest to build strong capital markets — bogus audited statements. After the fall of Lehman Brothers, the cascading dominoes spread around the world crippling markets and decimating companies. Despite the Wall Street-engineered financial avalanche, investors lost money in African equities largely because some audited statements were revealed to be patently deceptive.

As investigations exposed all the myriad contributions to the market collapse, the asymmetries between the audited statements and what was happening in companies were mind-blowing.

NASA opens its vaults

0

NASA is opening its vaults. The US space agency is now making its research data available to the public via a web portal. It’s not the prettiest site just yet, but it hosts a wealth of knowledge.

The US space agency has announced that it will be archiving research data at a web portal open to the public. Beginning this year, all NASA-funded authors of peer-reviewed papers will be required to provide copies of their science journal articles and the accompanying data. The research will be made available on the public portal, for free, within a year of publication.

“At NASA, we are celebrating this opportunity to extend access to our extensive portfolio of scientific and technical publications. Through open access and innovation we invite the global community to join us in exploring Earth, air and space,” NASA deputy administrator Dava Newman said in a press release.

That is exciting – see more community developments around this gesture from NASA.
