It is a well-known fact that innovation is a fundamental driver of economic growth. Roughly 85% of all growth that happened in the US economy between 1870 and 1950 can be accounted to productivity growth via innovation, and this isn’t just an individual anomaly. We have Rwanda a nation closer to our hearts, despite its size and population, the country is presently leading the continent in the adoption and development of a few interesting technologies. From developing robust telecom infrastructures to adopting drone technology, Rwanda is at the forefront of technological advancement in Africa.

The discussion for us is to examine closely at a micro level the role and impact of businesses and individuals, including indigenous people in the evolving innovation landscape. It is critical that we also explore the shift towards home-grown solutions that support local and global technological progress.
