[kictanet] ICT incubator - Expressions of interest

[John Kieti]

Hey McTim

I would not for a moment consider the market crowded with incubators this
early in the hour. In fact we need more business incubation services.
The entrepreneurial/business capacity of most of our ICT firms is rather low
yet their technical capacity is good or fairly easy to grow internally. The
overall business potential seems to be growing by the day  - as we approach
Vision 2030 and hence we need to have more business incubators graduating
many strong ICT solution providers. The other alternative would be to resign
ourselves to being net consumers of ICT solutions from India and the west
(perhaps unacceptable).

What do you think?

Regards
