Loved the 21st Century Challenges last night. Wish Sir Bob had been there to really stir it up and there had been more time for questions. Do you/Herman have another other events coming up in the UK?

Thank you. Really enjoyed the debate. It was very stimulating. I left buzzing and excited about the opportunities for growth and development in Africa that technology is providing. My quote of the evening was from Herman – “removing artifical borders with technology” I think the word is interchangeable with barriers – which is an extremely liberating idea.

Loved your point about needing to understand the demands of the current market (Iyam.mobi) and needing more investors to invest in risky startups in order to be able to find the ‘success stories’. Thanks for switching me on to the http://www.manypossibilities.net site.

The event today help to consolidate my thinking on one of my blog ramblings last June http://bit.ly/al5WFu …sometimes we need to review our thinking and challenge our beliefs to see opportunity when it presents itself. Thank you for the feast for thought!

Booked. Tube strikes and other things permitting, I will be there 🙂 . Looking forward to meeting you and catching up with Herman.
