KISUMU OPEN DATA DAY

Join us in Kisumu on February 22nd, for Open Data Day. Simultaneously happening in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu – Kenya will have a major presence on International Data Day – making data more freely available, and creating applications, visualizations, and analyses that bring meaning and value from data.

Lakehub,  is the idea that Kenya has more to offer the global tech community than what can be found in Nairobi. What iHub, 88mph, Nailab etc. have done in Nairobi is incredible, but our thought is that Western Kenya has a considerable amount of talent, interest, and ability to meaningfully contribute in the tech-space and to build tech-oriented businesses that will be to Kenya’s benefit. The thought is that there is enough interest and momentum towards technology at the moment that creating a space, support system, and community that fosters entrepreneurship and technology now will pay-off and further build interest and ability in the region over the coming years.
