6Africa is ready for lift-off. The multiple challenges of the continent have fast become the catalyst for innovation on an astounding level - forming new technologies, new infrastructure, new ways of doing things, and a new narrative. Africa is a continent full of creativity, energy, and change - and much of it is thanks to the miracle of the mobile phone. In "Disrupting Africa: The rise and rise of African innovation", Nnamdi Oranye looks at increasing innovation in Africa, showing how modern technology and digital payment services bring it all together to create a new kind of infrastructure the world has simply not expected. The African narrative is changing. Today's Africa is an exciting, creative continent, packed with amazing potential. THIS SECOND EDITION CONTAINS THREE CHAPTERS FROM NNAMDI ORANYE'S FOLLOW UP BOOK, "TAKING ON SILICON VALLEY: HOW AFRICA'S INNOVATORS WILL SHAPE ITS FUTURE."
