<br>
2016 was a pretty big year for tech in Afrika, and we covered a lot of<br>
the goings on on the continent- the ups and downs, openings and<br>
closings, starts and ends. We had a look back at some of our biggest<br>
stories (<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/iafrikan-weekly-digest-edition-141-most-popular-articles-in-2016/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/<wbr>iafrikan-weekly-digest-<wbr>edition-141-most-popular-<wbr>articles-in-2016/</a>)<br>
 as read by you, as well as our writers' picks<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/iafrikan-weekly-digest-edition-140-19-december-2016-2016-in-afrikan-tech/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/<wbr>iafrikan-weekly-digest-<wbr>edition-140-19-december-2016-<wbr>2016-in-afrikan-tech/</a>)<br>
. As we start the new year, there are a number of things we are<br>
looking forward to.<br>
<br>
First of all, 2017 will see elections in a number of countries. Tech<br>
powerhouses Kenya and Rwanda will have elections in August, and we are<br>
keen to see how tech will be applied in those polls, especially given<br>
developments elsewhere on the continent in the past year.<br>
<br>
We are also likely to see the growing adoption of the blockchain, as<br>
the technology gets increasingly divorced from bitcoin and finds<br>
applications in smart contracts, digital identity management and<br>
distributed cloud storage.<br>
<br>
2017 will also likely see the growing adoption of drones and other<br>
means to overcome the continent's logistical challenges, the continued<br>
emergence of African fintech startups,<br>
<br>
We're also going to have the Annual African Roundup later in January,<br>
where we look back at the year that was, and chart our way forward<br>
into the future of tech on the continent.<br>
<br>
What do you think the (near) future holds for African tech? What are<br>
you looking forward to? What would you like to see more of in 2017?<br>

** Ten Things We're Looking Forward To In 2017<br>
------------------------------<wbr>------------------------------<br>
<br>
Here's a brief list of the things we are looking forward to in 2017:<br>
<br>
Our Annual Tech Round-Up<br>
Yup. What better way to start things off than by looking back at how<br>
far we've come over the past year? We will be having the iAfrikan<br>
Annual Roundup on January 26 at Metta's flagship new space in Nairobi<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/12/05/metta-nairobis-flagship-space-for-entrepreneurs-and-innovators-is-now-open/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>12/05/metta-nairobis-flagship-<wbr>space-for-entrepreneurs-and-<wbr>innovators-is-now-open/</a>)<br>
. On the agenda is a series of panel discussions covering topics such<br>
as tech education, journalism, policy and governance, and startups.<br>
(More details to follow this week)<br>
<br>
Bitcoin and Blockchain<br>
<br>
With bitcoin closing 2016 at US$1000, the cryptocurrency has found<br>
adopters in the midst of cash crises in India and Venezuela.<br>
Blockchain, which is the ledger system that powers bitcoin, shows<br>
promise, especially for smart contracts and record-keeping. We are<br>
likely to see innovative uses of these technologies in the coming<br>
year. South Africa's Reserve Bank shared a smart contract<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/11/02/south-african-reserve-bank-circulates-first-ever-smart-contract-using-private-ethereum-blockchain/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>11/02/south-african-reserve-<wbr>bank-circulates-first-ever-<wbr>smart-contract-using-private-<wbr>ethereum-blockchain/</a>)<br>
 on the Ethereum blockchain, and Senegal launched a bitcoin-based<br>
digital currency<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/11/24/senegal-to-introduce-a-new-blockchain-based-national-digital-currency-making-it-only-the-second-country-to-have-a-national-digital-currency/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>11/24/senegal-to-introduce-a-<wbr>new-blockchain-based-national-<wbr>digital-currency-making-it-<wbr>only-the-second-country-to-<wbr>have-a-national-digital-<wbr>currency/</a>)<br>
, and we are likely to see similar moves in 2017 as the technology<br>
becomes more mainstream.<br>
<br>
Drones<br>
One of the biggest challenges in getting things safely and quickly<br>
from one point to another on the continent is the lack of supporting<br>
infrastructure - transport links in the form of roads and railways. In<br>
2016, we saw the application of drones and other unmanned aerial<br>
vehicles (UAVs) to deliver medical supplies and other small packages<br>
in Rwanda (<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/10/16/rwandas-pioneering-drone-delivery-service-for-medical-supplies-finally-takes-off/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>10/16/rwandas-pioneering-<wbr>drone-delivery-service-for-<wbr>medical-supplies-finally-<wbr>takes-off/</a>)<br>
 and Madagascar<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/10/31/with-7-out-of-10-residents-living-in-remote-rural-areas-madagascar-is-counting-on-drones-to-deliver-much-needed-medical-care/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>10/31/with-7-out-of-10-<wbr>residents-living-in-remote-<wbr>rural-areas-madagascar-is-<wbr>counting-on-drones-to-deliver-<wbr>much-needed-medical-care/</a>)<br>
, and the establishment of a humanitarian air corridor dedicated to<br>
drones (<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/12/16/the-worlds-first-dedicated-humanitarian-air-corridor-for-drones-is-being-set-up-in-malawi/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>12/16/the-worlds-first-<wbr>dedicated-humanitarian-air-<wbr>corridor-for-drones-is-being-<wbr>set-up-in-malawi/</a>)<br>
 in Malawi.<br>
We are likely to see further trials with this technology in 2017,<br>
accompanied by increased investment in supporting infrastructure as<br>
one way of overcoming these challenges.<br>
<br>
Elections<br>
There will be a number of polls in the coming year, among them<br>
Angola's legislative election, Kenya's general election and Rwanda's<br>
presidential election, all in August. The past year saw<br>
election-related internet shutdowns in Uganda and The Gambia<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/12/01/gambia-becomes-the-latest-afrikan-country-to-shut-down-the-internet-on-election-day/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>12/01/gambia-becomes-the-<wbr>latest-afrikan-country-to-<wbr>shut-down-the-internet-on-<wbr>election-day/</a>)<br>
, and already there has been much discussion<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2017/01/03/making-sense-of-kenyas-digital-election-conundrum/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2017/<wbr>01/03/making-sense-of-kenyas-<wbr>digital-election-conundrum/</a>)<br>
 over plans to introduce a manual backup for the technology that will<br>
be used to run Kenya's poll.<br>
Ghana's 2016 general election<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/12/14/ghanas-peaceful-and-digital-elections/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>12/14/ghanas-peaceful-and-<wbr>digital-elections/</a>)<br>
 was significant because it saw the successful use of technology to<br>
transmit results. The Electoral Commission even developed an app for<br>
this, making the results instantly available as soon as they were<br>
published.<br>
The coming year is likely to see a repeat of these paradoxes - the<br>
blocking of internet access, and the use of technology to transmit<br>
results after polls are done.<br>
<br>
Fintech<br>
The African financial technology space saw much promise in 2016, with<br>
a number of high-profile fundraising rounds by startups such as<br>
Paystack (<a href="https://techpoint.ng/2016/12/19/paystack-raises-1-3m-seed-investment/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://techpoint.ng/2016/12/<wbr>19/paystack-raises-1-3m-seed-<wbr>investment/</a>)<br>
 and BitPesa (<a href="http://disrupt-africa.com/2016/03/kenyas-bitcoin-startup-bitpesa-raises-funding-from-bitfury/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://disrupt-africa.com/<wbr>2016/03/kenyas-bitcoin-<wbr>startup-bitpesa-raises-<wbr>funding-from-bitfury/</a>)<br>
. Going into 2017, we are likely to see more funding going into the<br>
sector, as investors put money into startups fixing up the payments<br>
ecosystem.<br>
<br>
Governance and Technology<br>
As e-government initiatives take hold in Africa, an increasing number<br>
of essential services are being delivered online. We're keeping an eye<br>
on these, and the difference they are making in our everyday lives.<br>
One place where they can make a difference is in easing the<br>
interaction between citizens and their governments<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/10/03/lessons-from-tanzanias-digitization-of-person-to-government-payments/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>10/03/lessons-from-tanzanias-<wbr>digitization-of-person-to-<wbr>government-payments/</a>)<br>
, making it easier to access services such as registration of<br>
businesses, acquiring essential documents, and keeping the authorities<br>
accountable.<br>
<br>
Hubs<br>
A report published in 2016 stated that the number of tech hubs in<br>
Africa had doubled<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/08/19/did-afrikas-tech-hubs-really-double-in-number-within-a-year-or-are-we-just-counting-them-differently/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>08/19/did-afrikas-tech-hubs-<wbr>really-double-in-number-<wbr>within-a-year-or-are-we-just-<wbr>counting-them-differently/</a>)<br>
, and we asked if this was really the case. There have been a number<br>
of closures as some hubs found it hard to keep up with the 'everything<br>
is free' model, and the lack of proper growth models has brought this<br>
statistic into question.<br>
Going forward, we are seeing spaces like Nairobi's iHub adopt a more<br>
commercial approach in order to stay open and provide a much-needed<br>
service to the tech ecosystem. 2017 will likely see more spaces adopt<br>
this commercial approach, as funding patterns change and startups have<br>
to work harder to earn their keep.<br>
<br>
Information Security<br>
One of our biggest stories last year was about a breach<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/10/19/a-burundian-hacker-was-able-to-get-the-details-of-over-500-000-kcb-kenya-customers-through-a-vulnerability-in-the-banks-app/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>10/19/a-burundian-hacker-was-<wbr>able-to-get-the-details-of-<wbr>over-500-000-kcb-kenya-<wbr>customers-through-a-<wbr>vulnerability-in-the-banks-<wbr>app/</a>)<br>
in (<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/10/19/a-burundian-hacker-was-able-to-get-the-details-of-over-500-000-kcb-kenya-customers-through-a-vulnerability-in-the-banks-app/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>10/19/a-burundian-hacker-was-<wbr>able-to-get-the-details-of-<wbr>over-500-000-kcb-kenya-<wbr>customers-through-a-<wbr>vulnerability-in-the-banks-<wbr>app/</a>)<br>
 a bank's security<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/10/19/a-burundian-hacker-was-able-to-get-the-details-of-over-500-000-kcb-kenya-customers-through-a-vulnerability-in-the-banks-app/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>10/19/a-burundian-hacker-was-<wbr>able-to-get-the-details-of-<wbr>over-500-000-kcb-kenya-<wbr>customers-through-a-<wbr>vulnerability-in-the-banks-<wbr>app/</a>)<br>
 that exposed customer data. As more and more of our information finds<br>
its way online, we are seeing instances of data loss and other similar<br>
breaches. It is clear that we need to take information security much<br>
more seriously in 2017.<br>
<br>
Mobile<br>
More Africans are using mobile phones now than ever before, and<br>
innovators are finding new and innovative ways to use the technology,<br>
from virtual post office boxes<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/07/18/you-can-now-use-your-mobile-phone-number-as-a-virtual-post-office-box-in-kenya-2/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>07/18/you-can-now-use-your-<wbr>mobile-phone-number-as-a-<wbr>virtual-post-office-box-in-<wbr>kenya-2/</a>)<br>
in Kenya to hyperlocal weather forecasts<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/07/25/this-hyperlocal-weather-forecast-service-is-helping-afrikan-farmers-improve-their-yields/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>07/25/this-hyperlocal-weather-<wbr>forecast-service-is-helping-<wbr>afrikan-farmers-improve-their-<wbr>yields/</a>)<br>
 for farmers in West Africa and more. 2017 will likely see more<br>
innovations along this line, with the technology expected to further<br>
change how we consume news, information and entertainment content.<br>
Mobile tech continues to make an impact on the lives of Africans<br>
everywhere, and 2017 will likely see the trend continue.<br>
<br>
Startups<br>
On a panel discussion at the Kenya round of the Seedstars World<br>
startup competition, I hosted a panel discussion on the future of<br>
African startups<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/10/17/seedstars-nairobi-panel/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>10/17/seedstars-nairobi-panel/</a><wbr>) . One of<br>
the talking points was where startups could most likely thrive, and<br>
the main areas where this could happen are in agriculture, energy,<br>
technology and logistics, where significant gaps exist that tech could<br>
potentially solve.<br>
Going forward, a number of startups are trying to solve these<br>
problems, which we have featured at some length. As we meet and talk<br>
to these startups, one thing is clear, despite the challenges that<br>
keep getting in their way, they are determined to solve some of the<br>
continent's most pervasive problems, be it a need for creativity and<br>
innovation (<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/11/14/meet-jean-claude-bastos-de-morais-whose-african-innovation-foundation-empowers-innovations-made-by-africans-for-africa/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>11/14/meet-jean-claude-bastos-<wbr>de-morais-whose-african-<wbr>innovation-foundation-<wbr>empowers-innovations-made-by-<wbr>africans-for-africa/</a>)<br>
, collaborative brilliance<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/10/31/meet-takunda-chingonzoh-whose-belief-in-collaborative-brilliance-is-the-force-behind-zimbabwes-techvillage/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>10/31/meet-takunda-chingonzoh-<wbr>whose-belief-in-collaborative-<wbr>brilliance-is-the-force-<wbr>behind-zimbabwes-techvillage/</a>)<br>
, or opportunities to showcase their work<br>
(<a href="http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/07/03/innovations-made-by-africans-for-africans-my-experience-in-botswana-gaborone-at-the-innovation-prize-for-africa-5th-edition/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.iafrikan.com/2016/<wbr>07/03/innovations-made-by-<wbr>africans-for-africans-my-<wbr>experience-in-botswana-<wbr>gaborone-at-the-innovation-<wbr>prize-for-africa-5th-edition/</a>)<br>
.<br>
We're looking forward to finding and talking about more innovations<br>
and startups in 2017.<br>
