Meet some OviStore application developers, a Nokia showcase in Nairobi
Posted on: August 1, 2010 – Filed under: Nairobi
The team at Nokia is really committed at promoting local talent. At a previous event when they were announcing the results from the Nokia Innovation Competition, they were challenged to at least mention the some of the Kenyan developers who made it to the top 20. This they did and went a step further.
After looking through the top 20 list, they selected two young developers with whom they worked with to refine their service and even offered marketing support. AfroHot or Not and Wazzup were taken to market with good results. AfroHot has a user-base of 6,000 across East and Central Africa.
Word is…more cool stuff is coming from the various collaborations Nokia is spearheading with local developers. Watch this space.
