Is Africa the dark continent or the bright continent? Is this
Africa’s century? How many inventions have been made in Africa?
Is the nature of innovation in Africa different from elsewhere? Do
you know the difference between tef and TEF; or a SolarTurtle, a
Turtle car from Ghana and a satellite-tagged loggerhead turtle? How
many African countries have produced their own cars? Why is the
MPesa mobile money system so important? The answers to these and
many other questions can be found in this remarkable book – the
first of its kind. Over 800 inventions and innovations by more than
600 innovators from 50 African countries are discussed, and a
variety of issues related to innovation are debated. From
mompreneurs to moguls, waste pickers to fintech wizards, locust
whisperers to rocket scientists, robocops to internet-enabled
balloons, surfing therapy to gin flavoured with elephant dung,
shweshwe cloth to microsatellites, you will be astounded by the
creativity of the continent’s techpreneurs. This book is a
must-read for anyone interested in the future of Africa.
