The
ascent of the ‘Silicon Savannah’ is evident from the emergence of hundreds of innovation
hubs, technology related enterprises, and the heavy infusion of venture capital
across the continent.
As the
experience with the African Union Convention on Cybersecurity and Data
Protection shows, the African Union (AU) allows the continent to put forth an African
proposition on the digital space. Additionally, the continent has made great
strides towards digital integration with the advent of the One Area Network
initiative. The massive rollout of fibre‐optic
cables across the length and breadth of the region has catalysed the creation
of scores of young tech entrepreneurs, who are eager to reap digital dividends.
Indeed,
it is only a matter of time before the world’s most important innovations flow
out of Africa. Structured around the broad themes of connectivity, digital
inclusion, security, innovation and trade.
