Kenya. Nigeria is the biggest African economy, while South Africa is on the 3rd place and Kenya on 6th position. These 3 countries were represented among 4 most progressive in this field. Reason for these 3 countries specifically is the technical/digital infrastructure and the potential to implement the project results and turn them into real business.
