The event, taking place at the Stanhope Hotel in Brussels, Belgium on Dec. 5, 2011, aims at identifying the policy and business requirements that foster ICT-based entrepreneurship and bottom-up developments in Africa by looking at best practices examples. The debate will be based on the presentation of a study conducted by Hystra and Ashoka on the concrete contribution of technologies to social and economic development in developing countries.

The study called “Leveraging Information and Communication Technology for the Base of the Pyramid – Innovative business models in education, health, agriculture and financial services” was commissioned by Orange France Telecom, the French Agency for Development (AFD), Ericsson, TNO and the Interchurch Organisation for Development Cooperation (ICCO).
