We are delighted at the success of Innov<\/span>ation<\/span> Africa<\/span> 2014<\/span><\/strong> which was hosted in Kigali under the official patronage of the Ministry of Education, endorsed by the Rwanda Development Board and supported by the full weight of the Rwandan Government Cabinet. Previous editions of this premier meetings-based event in Victoria Falls, Cape Town<\/a> and Gaborone<\/a> have attracted over 1400 delegates, 60 ministers, 300 partner companies and 400 senior government officials for basic education, higher education and ICT.<\/p>\n
The Premier Event for Doing Business in Africa<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The central feature of Innovation Africa is the opportunity for partners and delegates to book pre-scheduled meetings with their preferred countries and government officials. The 2014 summit had over 50 Ministries & Government institutions from 24 African countries and a slick organisation that allowed more than 850 pre-scheduled meetings connecting industry leaders with ministers and officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

In partnership with the Rwandan Government, we brought over 150 ministers and government officials to engage with our industry partners at Innov<\/span>ation<\/span> Africa<\/span> 2014<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n
