In Pursuit of Data on the African Continent
@ Friday 10:45 - 11:10

It is not about "mobile first": it is mobile only and mobile everywhere. But there is no data. Value creation on the internet is fuelled by data - and if there are no digitised registries let alone any credible credit scoring, targeting the masses of consumers with digital offerings is nearly impossible. Or is it? Hear the story of how a Norwegian-Ugandan fintech was born.
