> I attended the TransformAfrica Summit which is closing down in a few
> minutes. The theme is telling : The Future of Africa delivered..Today!
>
> There are a few takeaways we could share, but you may acces the SMART
> Africa Manifesto at
>
> http://www.transformafrica2013.org/documents/
>
> Manifesto is about taking action in order to connect, innovate and
> transform Africa.
>
> While this summit, attended by 7 African heads of States an many high
> powered authorities, it has been somehow dominated by the massive presence
> of the private sector in panels and the nice exhibitions. Youth has also
> been at the centre of Transform Africa with workshops on digital
> entrepreneurship (Entrepreneurship Web 3.OS)  and iHubs.
>
> The other major take away is that TransformAfrica has been organized by
> Rwanda, a country that is not just writing policies and strategies, but is
> just executing them. And its shows right at the airport and all the way to
> the launch of the Rwandapedia (www.rwandapedia.rw) and the commissioning
> of the 4G. So, leadership matters on African journey to the digital economy.

> L'autre chose importante a retenir est que le sommet a ete organise par le

> mais de les mettre en oeuvre! Et cela se voit..depuis l'aeroport jusqu'au
> lancement du projet Rwandapedia (www.rwandapedia.rw) a l'hotel Mille
> collines.
