[Call for Paper] Tekedia REDESIGN, a Virtual Conference

0

We continue to introduce Tekedia REDESIGN, a virtual conference to our readers.  Now, we are asking for ONE  page submission for those that want to present video feeds or audio that day, Aug 27, 2011. A page, we repeat a single page, on Mobile + Cloud computing within the African context. Let us do it in the cloud and drive it in the mobile ecosystem; it is time for Tekedia REDESIGN.

In the last few years, most parts of the world have morphed into an electronically interdependent economic unit where a disruption in one marketplace affects the others. New technologies have emerged, transforming the ways we do business and, consequently, redesigning the world. Innovation in disruptive technologies pushes new and more agile firms to set new benchmarks, and forces established companies to incorporate evolving breakthroughs into their models or re-invent themselves to stay competitive.

Innovation thus remains a key driver in wealth creation, but the way it happens is changing as a result of new technologies, processes and tools. As social media networks advance, outsourcing ideas to the crowd has become common, while inter-company R&D that pools resources together is a new normal. From agriculture to print media, finance to mortgage and across sectors, industries, and disciplines, the world is being redesigned.

Two technologies that are playing major roles in this redesigning are mobile and cloud computing. And we will be discussing them in the context of Africa.  Right here on Tekedia on August 27, 2011, we will host a Virtual Conference, titled

 

Africa In Mobile + Cloud Era

You will watch feeds from experts and pros as they discuss the future on mobility and cloud computing and how that will affect Africa. No ticket, no travel, it is all in the cloud. We guess the best way to experience mobile and cloud is to do a conference in the domains of mobile and cloud!

A keynote will be delivered by our Founder. The exact time will be communicated very soon.

For questions and comments, email tekedia@fasmicro.com. This is going to be huge,   and we promise to offer you a good time.

Website: Mfarm.co.ke

Comment: Truly innovative and well structured to help farmers.  Yet, they must scale the service to have meaningful impact. Funding to build meaningful database is needed.

A  company with 5 scored high in the aggregate of the four factors. A rating of 1 means the company needs to work harder ).

Tekedia Research To Debut July 1 – Tekedia Broad Industrial Average (TBIA) Developed

1

Starting July, 2011, our readers will see more contents. We are working to provide investment grade report in a new category titled, Research. Since we began this journey about 7 weeks ago, we have assembled a team that are helping us  make sense of many things in Africa through research. They have gone to universities, companies, government agencies and we are amassing contents.  You will be reading our

  • Ranking of universities by technology in Nigeria,
  • Tekedia 20 – the companies we have identified to move to the next level
  • Detailed and focused research on government agencies and associated research. We focus on technology  people –  no politics
  • Tekedia Broad Industrial Average (TBIA)– we have created a stock market index that mirrors the Dow Jones Industrial Average to give a daily assessment of Nigerian stock exchange. This composite includes 20 stocks across different sectors of the stock exchange and we have weighted them by stock price. Automation of the process so that it will show as map is being done. Starting number for the TBIA is 5,000. As the average does well, it will move up, and when it lags, it goes down. To the first order (we are engineers), this will tell anyone how the market has moved any day. Our Founder developed the algorithm and you can trust his capacity because before he went to electronics, he was in banking.  Recall that it was a news organization that developed the DJIA for the US market. We think we can do this.
