Friday News Round-Up


As demonstrated at the East Africa Com event this week, emerging markets have become hubs of innovation and creative start-ups in their own right – with Kenya even earning the nickname of ‘Silicon Savannah’. So in this age of activity, advancement and never ending news, we thought we’d put together a list of all the Hot stories we come across.
The Com World Series team live and breathe emerging markets, so we want to make sure we spread the news!
