A West African Mobile Hacking Event

by HASH on July 7, 2011

There’s generally a communications wall between francophone and anglophone Africa. Both sides could use greater exposure to the other.

It’s no surprise to see a bunch of tech companies and community members coming together for a 24 hour hackathon on September 24th in four French speaking countries: Côte d’Ivoire, Benin, Senegal and Cameroon.

What’s great to see, is that there are 6 tech labs/hubs that are supporting it in these countries:

Côte d’Ivoire : AKENDEWA
Sénégal : JOKKOLABS – ACT DAKAR – iHUBSENEGAL
Cameroun : APPSTECH
Bénin : ETRI LABS
