Kenya's BPO Leaders Sprinting to the Finish

I have several posts on here about the Kenya BPO industry and have even spoken to some of the individuals profiled in this video. I have to say there is a degree of pride that comes from watching this video and seeing evidence of the efforts that are being made to ensure Kenya is a leading BPO industry leader. There is talk of a 10 year tax moratorium, cheap access to broadband, improved connectivity and infrastructure and a trained labor force that could put Kenya over the top. God speed to the team managing these efforts on behalf of the Government of Kenya.

Africa Entrepreneurship Platform New York Event

The Africa platform works to create partnerships between the US and Africa to explore Ideas between entrepreneurs and investors. The focus seems to be on South Africa, but its a start for all of Africa. Enjoy the excerpts from African and US business leaders who spoke at the event. My favorite is filmaker Carol Pineaus comment that, 'if you really want to make money, go where noone else is looking." While that's not entirely true, it makes simple sense for investors looking for the next big thing.

Check out the video....and log on to YouTube to see the complete versions of each participants speech. Also a special congratulations to Mr. Naidoo...You're doing an amazing job showcasing Africa's potential to people who can really invest capitol in the continent.
