Microsoft Innovation Centre to enhance skills development

The new MIC will provide young Batswana entrepreneurs, students, developers and researchers with access to expert information and high-tech equipment for testing and developing the latest technologies built on the Microsoft platform.

Hennie Loubser, the General Manager of Microsoft in Africa and Indian Ocean Islands, said offering these opportunities is an important step to encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship because the idea is to boost the local software developer industry, driving increased availability of highly skilled and proficient ICT users as well as developer skills in the country.
