I was delighted to have been invited to speak on a panel with Dr Iwa Salami (Reader and Director of Centre for Fintech at UEL), Professor Bangaly Kaba, Faculty of Business, Athabasca University, Canada and Dr Aidan Kelly (Senior Lecturer at UEL) at the Conference at the University of East London on Friday 19 May 2023. My talk was on ‘Sustainable Business and Development in Africa: The role of Technology’. It was fascinating to hear from experts about the continent’s growing tech sector.
