Africa Digital World - Wheel of Entrepreneurship Ecosystems

--:--
We continue exploring the "Wheel of Entrepreneurship Ecosystems". We had a first look at the role of Corporations in Entrepreneurship Ecosystems on episode 6 through the discussion with Ericsson. On episode 7, we zero-in on the phenomenon of the digital divide, as gleaned from the Ericsson discussion. What is the digital divide? Why is it relevant? The role of leadership in addressing the digital divide is core to Africa's realisation of the boon of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Episode 7 will certainly leave you with something to think about.
