Yvonne discusses at length how technology can be an enable for many challenges faced by Africa. She explains how Africa is a startup,  and why we need a more connected economy to the needs of the people.

We come to the root of the startup way of thinking: Think Big, Invent and Simplify, Start from the Customer.  We explore what makes success in life. Yvonne describes simple ideas: working hard, being obsessed, not looking for the easy path, being resilient, making a difference and an impact…
