Khama�s keynote address at Innovation prize for Africa 2016 :: Mmegi Online

A very good evening to you all! It is indeed a pleasure for me to be with you here this evening to officiate at this Innovation Prize for Africa Awards Gala Dinner. I would, from the outset, like to acknowledge the Africa Innovation Foundation, through its Chairman, Ambassador Walter Fust for having afforded us this opportunity to host the Innovation Prize for Africa (IPA) 2016 awards following our bid submission last October.

This is a good gesture which shows your recognition of our efforts towards embracing innovation and creativity as a means to achieving economic growth and competitiveness.

We are very proud and thankful to host the event for recognising and rewarding the top African Innovators, whom you have nominated as deserving candidates for this year’s Prize. This, we hope will stimulate and motivate local innovators and inventors to acknowledge this level of competitiveness.
