In Costa d'Avorio i gioielli calcistici del continente. E si pensa a come far fruttare l'eredità lasciata dalle infrastrutture. Nostra intervista a Vincenzo Lacerenza Con la Silicon Savannah, il Kenya è il primo del continente, di Gianni Ballarini Oxfam 2024: Il potere a servizio di pochi, di Michela Trevisan

In this podcast, guests from Ashitiva Advocates LLP, Pinsent Masons and the Nairobi International Financial Centre chat to Africa Legal's Tom Pearson about the three-way collaboration to woo investors to Kenya – the “Silicon Savannah”. There's a lot of discussion at the moment around enhancing Kenya's private investment ecosystem, and the private equity and venture capital roundtable that's being held on 12 September at the Nairobi Serena Hotel will help advance the conversation. The event is being organised jointly by premier African law firm Ashitiva Advocates LLP which has three commercial centres in Kenya, Pinsent Masons, a purpose led multinational law firm with 26 offices on four continents, and the Nairobi International Financial Centre, a dedicated government agency that creates an efficient and predictable operating environment. In the discussion with Tom, Nelson Ashitiva, Senior Partner at Ashitiva Advocates LLP and an expert in mergers & acquisitions, capital markets and corporate/commercial transactions, says the roundtable is about creating a bridge between investors and opportunities in East Africa. “Africa is ripe with a plethora of investment opportunities, so we are seeking to find out the impediments to the free flow of capital to Africa for purposes of investment. Once we understand those impediments, we will find a way to bridge them through a collaborative effort with all the stakeholders.” Jeddida Ndungu, Acting Director of the Financial Sector Development for the Nairobi International Financial Centre (NIFC) Authority, says their mission is to enhance Nairobi's position as the preferred hub for financial services and innovation. “We are able to leverage our role as a government agency that has been given the powers to provide incentives and also to work with other government agencies to ensure that we provide the best operating environment in the region,” Ndungu explained. She adds that the roundtable will be a good platform for the various stakeholders to be heard and provide solutions that they think the Kenyan government needs to explore and consider to enhance the ecosystem. Oliver Crowley, a partner at Pinsent Masons, specialises in the structuring and establishment of private investment funds across a range of asset classes and multiple jurisdictions. In the podcast, he shares his insights on lessons that could be learned from other regions. “The regime should be as frictionless as possible whilst protecting investors and providing good service providers, and all of that will provide the necessary checks and balances that investors expect to see when they're deploying capital,” he noted. Crowley says while the barriers vary in jurisdictions, the overarching one in particular is uncertainty. Some jurisdictions deal with this better than others, he says. Lisa Botha, a partner at Pinsent Masons who has a track record of advising on high profile transactions and assisting clients across Africa, points out that Mauritius has had substantial success in establishing itself as a financial centre for investment in Africa. “Kenya could provide a fantastic market for East Africa and for investments from Kenya upward bound further than East Africa,” she commented. Ultimately, the roundtable is a great opportunity to collaborate and shape what a successful Kenyan private equity and venture capital ecosystem would look like.

Jede Woche drehen wir den Globus neu, diesmal kommt er auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent zum Stehen: "Wirtschaft Welt und Weit" schaut auf Kenia. Viele sehen in dem ostafrikanischen Staat ein Vorbild bei den erneuerbaren Energien: Kürzlich erst hat Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz kenianische Geothermieanlagen besichtigt. Kann Deutschland in diesem Bereich von Kenia lernen, oder war der Besuch nur Symbolpolitik? Und wie steht es um eine Zusammenarbeit im IT-Sektor? Nairobi ist in diesem Bereich so stark, dass es in der Branche gerne auch mal "Silicon Savannah" genannt wird. Was ist davon zu halten, wenn Deutschland angesichts des Fachkräftemangels die Anwerbung kenianischer IT-Profis erleichtern will? Und hat die deutsche Wirtschaft in Kenia überhaupt noch eine Chance, gegen die Chinesen zu bestehen, die längst große Infrastrukturprojekte realisiert haben? Über dies und mehr diskutiert Host Mary Abdelaziz-Ditzow mit den Kenia-Experten Julian Hilgers und Asmau Nitardy.Julian Hilgers ist Wirtschaftsjournalist und will in seinem Afrika-Podcast "55 Countries" zu einem differenzierten Afrika-Bild beitragen. Er hat bereits in Kenia gelebt und gearbeitet. Asmau Nitardy ist Halb-Kenianerin und im Land aufgewachsen. Sie beobachtet die deutsch-kenianischen Wirtschaftsbeziehungen als Ostafrika-Expertin des Afrika-Vereins der deutschen Wirtschaft.

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Andrea Polio about his research on Chinese technology companies in Nairobi, Kenya, and how African cities have emerged as proxy arenas where different modes of international relations are given effect through the development of infrastructure. He discusses how African cities are crucial actors and sites of the geopolitics of digital infrastructure, which will increasingly be one of the key geopolitical arenas of the 21st century as the US, China, and the EU compete for global influence with new programs of development finance. In a related  paper, Dr. Pollio argues that urban areas are already beholden to  competition between different state actors and units of capital for infrastructure networks in the global south. In this context, Africa's fast-growing metropolises have emerged as testbeds of shifts in the geopolitics of information towards multipolar magnets of power. Dr. Andrea Pollio is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow jointly at the Department of Urban and Regional Studies of the Polytechnic of Turin and at the African Centre for Cities of the University of Cape Town, where his research addresses the impact of private Chinese technology companies in Nairobi's Silicon Savannah. His broader work explores the interface between technology economies, development, and urbanization in Africa.  He has also studied the impact of private Chinese capital on two East-African cities (Addis Ababa and Nairobi) that have emerged as key destinations for the urbanization of Chinese investments in the continent.

Having concluded a successful spectrum auction and collected more than R14.4-billion in proceeds, communications regulator Icasa has opened the pipeline for considerable economic growth in South Africa. TechCentral jumps straight into what this means with Riaan Graham, director for sub-Saharan Africa at Ruckus Networks, in this podcast interview. “Put the delays (otherwise known as the 'debacle') behind us, and let's look forward to building an exciting future. The digital economy is poised to take off, and having access to fast, distributed and cheaper data is certainly going to change our economy for the better,” says Graham. “Everybody is more efficient and more productive when they are connected," he adds. And this will become even more apparent when 5G is unlocked and truly available to both the formal and informal sectors. “It is now up to us to find ways to use the spectrum effectively and encourage economic growth. Icasa certainly still has its part to play and could learn something from the our neighbours in Kenya, where Konza Technology City, a smart city also known as Silicon Savannah, is going to be fuelled by a ‘can-do' attitude and abundant spectrum,” Graham adds.

Ben Bellows spent almost 20 years studying the economics of aid systems - but 2 years ago Ben quit his day job to go all-in on Nivi. Nivi is a chatbot marketplace Ben founded to empower, inform, and engage communities directly. Today we chat with Ben to understand what inspired someone with 50 peer-reviewed manuscripts and a lifetime in the nonprofit sector to take a bet on a healthtech startup. Ben grapples with the hopes and failures of designing a better kind of aid, one that rewards outcomes rather than inefficiencies. He talks about the unique moment in history when broadband arrived at his home in Kenya and you could feel the energy and optimism that kickstarted the Silicon Savannah. Embracing this moment, Ben clicked with one of his two co-founders within an hour of their encounter at Java House in Nairobi. All of this brings him today to Nivi, a social enterprise providing a chatbot-based marketplace allowing over 2 million people to achieve their own health goals in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and India.

"Silicon Savannah", "Africa is rising" – much attention is directed at Africa as a continent of economic opportunity and growth. In this episode, HIIG researcher Nicolas Friederici stresses that relative to the hype and hope, things are not that easy and we shouldn't limit our focus on how to copy silicon valley models. The research presented in this episode is part of the ERC-funded Geonet project by the Oxford Internet Institute (check the show notes for more information on the project).

OverviewWe've got a slightly different format for this episode – it's a recording of a talk that I gave on a recent trip back to London. It was held at a co-working space (@huckletree) to an audience of people interested in learning more about the business scene in East Africa. We have a bit an intro and overview of the main industries in the region before delving into a few other topics which haven't really been covered so far on the podcast Some thoughts around how technology in the region is being adopted quicker, leapfrogging the developed worldHow the education system means it can be difficult to hire in East AfricaAnd a discussion around the implications of Brexit and the Trump election on the region About half way through we get to Q & As which, in my opinion is the best bit as we get to cover some more contextual questions of the business scene. Some of the questions might be a bit tricky to pick up, but you should be able to work out what's going on from the resulting discussion. In any case, this is a slightly longer episode than you might be used to, but with the diversity of topics we cover, I hope you find it useful.

Has the Jubilee Coalition delivered on its 2013 manifesto promises? Will we have an internet shutdown during/after this election? How is Kenya's tech ecosystem doing? How does it compare to the rest of Africa? Is the KFCB overstepping its mandate? Is what Ezekiel Mutua is doing censorship? How about the NCIC and its work on "ending" hate speech?

Kenya’s tech scene aka Silicon Savannah is on fire! At least, that’s according to commentators like Brenda Wambui, who’s recent blog posted on Medium threw serious shade the way of some looming figures in Kenya’s tech ecosystem following the diabolical fallout at cloud services firm, Angani. It turns out that some of the details surrounding this story that we reported on some weeks ago— details whose validity we later questioned, might in fact be accurate. In this week’s episode of the African Tech Round-up, Tefo Mohapi and Andile Masuku analyse the state of investor-founder relations at Angani in the light of Brenda’s candid piece, which clearly defends the honour of the company’s founders. We’ll also try to determine whether the allegations of corruption and abuse of power she levelled at the company’s investors are justified.
