One word that keeps coming out of the lips of most tech-preneurs these days in Africa and Ghana is; INNOVATION. Across Africa; especially in Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Egypt and Uganda; innovative thinkers and idealists are coming up with unique, frequently low-tech solutions (apps & designs) to high-tech challenges such as energy, education, communications and transport.
