Afridigest Week in Review: Is Nigeria a real place?
Afridigest is your intelligent guide to Africa’s tech ecosystem. This Afridigest Week in Review helps you stay in the know about what happened in Africa Tech last week.
📌 Congrats to Afridigest reader Dr. Ikpeme Neto, CEO and Founder of Wellahealth, on winning this year’s Africa’s Business Heroes Prize Competition 🥳
When I last spoke with Doc a couple of months ago, we talked about healthtech funding in Africa & one would be forgiven for thinking he almost sounded anti-grants. Well, I’m sure he’s much more amenable to grant funding these days. 😁
If you’re new here: welcome — this Week in Review is sent on Mondays, the Fintech Review goes out on Sundays, and additional essays or other content goes out on (some but not all) Wednesdays/Saturdays. For past essays and digests, visit the archive & Afridigest.com.
And with that said, let’s get into it.
