biznuss ideas in developing countires

Hi Biznikers,

IBM is inviting individuals to post their technology based ideas on how technology might partner with business (most likely small) to improve the quality of life in Africa.

This idea forum seems to be run as a real meritocracy, so I would encourage anyone with a viable idea to contribute.

The deadline for idea submissions is the 25th of this month!

Cere, are they specifically focusing on any region in Africa? West Africa has little resemblance to Northeast Africa, in culture, language, or economy.

True Brian,

It's something that most people too often forget... That said, it's IBM's call not mine, and they were soliciting ideas for ALL of Africa.
