Speaking of target, given the quality of the panel invited, the measure could only be serious. Editorial teams such as the Je Wanda Magazine group; CKoment Publishing; a group of creators of the adventure video game Kiro’o Games; banking establishments like Afriland First Bank; digital brands such as Kaymu and Axxentis doing business consultancy served as agents of digital success in Africa.
10,000 Developers (2)
According to Cyprien Tankeu, Regional Mentor Afrique francophone of Google Developers Group (GDG), this measure is welcome. He explains: “You have to take into account the realities of each country to provide training. Cameroon is open and full of potential and it is only through training that they can shine. “ Among the videos presented and available on Youtube, a vibrant tribute was paid to Arthur Zang, creator of the CardioPad, an innovation that is changing lives around the world and which other African entrepreneurs should learn from.
