Q3 2016<br />
‘African leadership needs to<br />
explore and maximize<br />
technologies to upgrade<br />
exploration of available<br />
resources’.<br />
it be for Rwanda to follow up on the contacts which<br />
were established at the recent WEF African forum and<br />
begin implementing on agreed activities with potential<br />
partners?<br />
FG: The fact that WEF took place in Rwanda’s capital,<br />
Kigali was yet another platform to forge partnerships<br />
which will yield deals in future.<br />
Not only key stakeholders in Government were on<br />
board to showcase available business opportunities, but<br />
also key members of the private sector interacted with<br />
their counterparts on ways to maximize the untapped<br />
local and regional opportunities.<br />
A number of important conferences and summits that<br />
took place in Rwanda saw huge projects materializing,<br />
the recent example of computers assembled in Rwanda<br />
resulted of the Transform Africa Summit.<br />
NMI: Considering the recent WEF Africa theme<br />
“Connecting Africa’s Resources through Digital Transformation”,<br />
what sectors does Rwanda plan to prioritise<br />
now that the event has passed?<br />
African leadership needs to explore and maximize technologies<br />
available to upgrade exploration of available<br />
resources. Better digital services in Rwanda will open<br />
up opportunities locally, regionally and internationally.<br />
In this time of increasing globalization, internet is the<br />
prominent medium that allows us to interact so closely<br />
together, in areas such a trade and development. Rwanda<br />
is well aware of this and we are putting efforts on<br />
improving our ICT services.■<br />
