Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in 2019 in the presence of African ICT Ministers, representatives from the United Nations, Investors and Entrepreneurs in the IT and Telecommunication sector”, she noted.

“Since then, we have sponsored and invested in a wide range of startups from all over the continent. We met Startup boot camp during an Africa Com event in November 2019 and saw a lot of synergies in what we both want to achieve and so we joined forces and resources, hence our partnership and I must emphasise that we are very pleased with what we have collectively achieved”, she added.
