DEMO Africa 2014 was a huge success according to several of the entrepreneurs who attended and pitched at the conference. Saisai from Zimbabwe was named the winner of the SWELL Innovation award with Irofit and VOTO taking the first and second runners up positions respectively.
According to Harry Hare the Executive Producer of DEMO Africa,“It is inspiring to see that, now, more attention is being accorded the pursuit of solutions to problems that are uniquely African. The continent has one of the most diverse and talented pool of young people and finally, we are seeing a real intent by authorities to utilize the massive power within these brains to bring positive change, especially through technology.”
