| Summary: | Access to mobile communications has been
linked with economic growth and the industry itself boosts
local economies by creating high-value direct and indirect
jobs. As part of its mobile innovation program, infoDev
developed the concept of the mobile innovation roadshow with
the overall objective to stimulate the development of an
innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem for mobile
applications enterprises by introducing business and
technical concepts relevant to startups in the mobile
industry via a series of short events. The roadshow was
developed in partnership between the Southern Africa
innovation support (SAIS) program and infoDev. The objective
of this practical guide is to provide a tool for interested
parties on how to plan, organize, implement, and evaluate a
mobile innovation roadshow. The guide presents a generic
methodology that can be used in any country context. It
provides lessons and best practices based on the experiences
of implementing mobile innovation roadshows in four
countries in Southern Africa: Mozambique, Botswana, Namibia,
and Zambia. |
