DEMO-Africa-2013Set to take place this September 22 to 26th at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos, Nigeria, DEMO Africa has today began its African innovation tour to over 16 countries in Africa to demonstrate what Demo is all about and get tech entreprenuers to apply in big numbers and preprare for it.

The first phase of the Innovation Tours will see the DEMO Team going to countries in Eastern and Southern Africa, and then followed by countries in West and North Africa. Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe, Ghana, Egypt, Cameroon and Nigeria are some of the countries that have confirmed to host the event.

Speaking at the first tour held today in Nairobi at Nailab, a startup business incubation centre DEMO Africa’s Executive Producer Harry Hare said, “Startups that have already launched before media and investors are discouraged to apply to DEMO Africa as that’s when they’re supposed to launch.”

Hare added that DEMO Africa tour is set to make entreprenuers aware of the different categories and requirements to apply. DEMO Africa will only shortlist the best forty startups based on their creativity, innovation, effectiveness and scalability.
The best forty will have a chance to launch their products to an ecosystem of VCs, investors, tech acquisition specialists, IT buyers and media from across the region and around the globe.

Also present at the premier tour, Ali Hussein Kassim,member of the advisory board DEMO Africa added that startups to be selected into DEMO Africa have to stand out from the rest even if that means they need to spellcheck then that’s what they need to do. He added that entreprenuers should try as much as possible to fill in all the sections as they are there for a reason.
