AfricApps: Developing the digital ecosystem in Africa

Whether for commercial gain or social awareness, apps have become part of our everyday language
The growth opportunities for the development sector are said to be huge as pretty soon, the majority of people will be living their lives through their mobile devices and requiring all manner of app services and products to keep them going. But how to get them to market and to derive an income from all this creative technological genius are just two of the questions being asked by developers.

Interesting solutions to payment options for Africa's largely unbanked communities are also heavily influencing and shaping the apps market - opening gateways for developers to speak to more people and charge for their services - economies of scale often directly allowing developers to benefit.

AfricApps, co-located with AfricaCom, will showcase case studies from leading African developers, telcos, OEMs, brands, app stores and Social media platforms. It is focused on the future of Africa's digital economy, and is one of the most significant opportunities of its kind in the region for developers and would-be developers to meet all the leading figures from the community.
