It provides me a one stop platform to meet service providers and also to experience possibilities in IT. Aderemi Ogunsola: Head IT International Health Management Services Nigeria It was of great benefit and has brought more good to the participants. I must say that you planned it perfectly to have the mini sessions slotted in to have one-on-ones interactions with the Egyptian tech firms. This approach is the best I have seen, and its way more productive than the usual cases where participants sit and listen to presentations one after the other for a whole day, and only get to interact with others during the short tea and lunch breaks. So for this particular approach, you did perfect! Emman Joshua: BDE Tangazoletu Kenya It was truly inspiring to see such a depth of solutions, expertise and experience from Egypt, especially the Egyptian companies ability to offer a right balance of innovative, cost-effective and relevant IT solutions to the African market. Also convincing is the fact that Egypt has started this 'Africa Together' initiative in conjunction with IDC, who am sure will guide them appropriately, as IDC has been in Africa much earlier and understands better the continents issues, challenges and opportunities w.r.t ICT."

The number of meetings was perfect, it kept me busy all day. The event was very well organized, the IDC and ITIDA team members were more than helpful and the quality of visitors was above my expectations. Thank you IDC and ITIDA teams Excellent work and partnership on-site. A true partnership amongst private sector, ITIDA, and IDC. No effort was spared by the ITIDA and IDC team. The most successful event I have attended in many, many years GS believe this event was very successful and triggered the real value that the system integrators in Egypt have to share it with the local companies in Sub-Saharan Africa which will open door for more business in the region The program seems have generated lot of leads. Qualifying those leads is still in progress, as blind dating is not enough to give a solid feedback. I expect within one month from the event and with proper follow up to get clearer outcome and accordingly highlight the success of the matchmaking activity. Yet it is clear that a good effort was put in the preparation.
