[kictanet] Invitation: Data + Markets Workshop

[Kevin Donovan]

Please join us next week for a series of roundtable discussions on the role
of digital data in East African economies.

The Data + Markets workshop brings together leading experts to explore the
production and use of this new commercial resource, asking how digital data
is transforming industries, what opportunities and challenges exist, and
how regulation might be best crafted.
