Description

In this episode, I sit down with Lionel again to explore the evolving landscape of technology and resilience in Africa. Together, we unpack the striking differences in market value, digital growth and investment priorities when compared to Europe and the United States. Our conversation sheds light on how digital resilience is being shaped in regions where fundamental challenges like hunger and poverty still dominate policy agendas - and how digital literacy, although still uneven, is accelerating. We dive into current investment trends in more developed economies such as South Africa, the expansion of mobile broadband access and why the continent’s increasing internet user base could mark Africa as a future innovation hub.But this isn’t just a numbers-driven discussion. Lionel shares how a simple moment - eating risotto - led him to change perspective as well as the importance of perspective in cybersecurity. We also touch on a lighter but culturally rich debate: Ghanaian vs. Nigerian Jollof rice.Our Guest:Lionel LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lionel-hapi-modje-33641ba4/Lionels typical workday: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/organisation-und-informatik-stadt-z%C3%BCrich_digitaleszaesrichmitgestalten-itjobs-berufsvielfalt-activity-7290730494382489600-WG1i/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAACONqncBzTmT1rca3ilVhifkpHXUs9QkM_425 Minutes PodcastHostey by: Eliel MulumbaAudio editing & mastering: Michael LauderezJoin conversation on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/eliel-mulumba-133919147Fact Checkhttps://www.statista.com/outlook/tmo/cybersecurity/africahttps://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/europe-cybersecurity-markethttps://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/industry-reports/cyber-security-market-101165https://techafricanews.com/2024/10/31/africas-mobile-connectivity-has-the-internet-access-gap-narrowed-in-2024Send us a text
