Africa's population of one billion plus is adopting technology at an unprecedented rate. Thus, harnessing energy
becomes the crux of the matter, propelling us to think broader and quickly. One of the
greatest gifts the continent has is an abundance of natural resources and more
importantly, the ability to harness our own skill-sets to solve our own
problems.
Our second Salon speaker, Eunice Baguma Ball understands this well and makes this her
business. Eunice is an
entrepreneur & technology business consultant who has worked in the technology sector in Africa for over 7 years. Currently based in the UK and as the founder/organiser of the Africa Technology Business Network, she advises tech
startups that are looking to expand into Africa or developing solutions
targeting the African market.
The ATBN gathers a community of entrepreneurs, innovators and technologists who
are interested, in not only in tapping into the opportunities in Africa, but also creating
social and economic impact. Through
organised events in London, the ATBN initiative provides insights into the
Africa technology industry and connects UK-based entrepreneurs & investors to
opportunities in the sector. Moreover, they support the budding local
tech communities across Africa by providing a plug into the UK tech ecosystem
and a platform to showcase African centred innovations to a global
audience.
We invite you to hear Eunice’s talk
at the next TEDxEuston Summer Salon on Saturday 13th June. Her
enthusiasm is infectious and will motivate you to reflect on Africa’s budding
tech scene, potential to develop exponentially and make a real impact on Africa’s
ability to face forward and harness their energy.
