"Africa is on the cusp of a major revolution powered by mobile broadband. Since the late 90s, mobile telephony has substantially changed market dynamics on the continent and rekindled an almost forgotten spirit of free market enterprise in our economies. With the advent of social media, we are beginning to see Africa take the lead in utilizing the web in previously unknown ways - you only have to look to Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Ivory Coast to see the potential being unlocked. At the inaugural edition of the African Web Summit we have a major opportunity to explore some of these triggers and forecast what will be the barriers and drivers to a web driven 21st Century Africa. You have to be there."

Olaseni Ashiru, Government and Industry Relations Manager, Hub West and Central, Ericsson Sub-Saharan Africa
