The 7th Annual East Africa Com in Nairobi

0 Comments

East Africa Com is now in its 7^th year and is only event representing the Telecommunications market within this region.  This region remains a hub of intense competition and innovation.  As Africa begins along the path of a new digital era, many of the apps and services innovation is taking place in Kenya. Broadband access and network quality have been vastly improved thanks to international connectivity and capacity projects.

However, the region’s unique position as a breeding ground for new services in telecoms, media and ICT is mostly due to the leadership of some of Africa’s most dynamic operators, investors, and start-ups. Therefore the regional positioning and the high level CxO’s attracted make East AfricaCom unique and potentially lucrative for service providers and vendors looking to expand their business within this region.
