[kictanet] Paying more attention to hardware and the Internet of Things

[Ahmed Mohamed Maawy]

Listers,

This may sound a bit like self promotion. But the idea is that we sat down
as players of different innovation areas and we thought that it is about
time we come up with ways to boost innovation in Hardware and Internet of
Things. Although the concept does exist in our local innovation scene, its
not being tackled head on. So we figured it would be wise to raise an
initiative around it. So we are trying to form an initiative dubbed the IoT
Developers Africa initiative and have outlined why it is key and strategic
to the innovation sector in Sub Saharan Africa.
