"Government and entrepreneurs are allies. They want the same things: to create sustainable jobs and value for their communities.”

That’s according to Jon Stever, co-founder and MD of Impact Hub Kigali, a community innovation hub in Rwanda. Stever is also one of the key individuals behind i4Policy, which developed the Africa Innovation Policy Manifesto and is assisting in the rollout of dedicated ‘Startup acts’ across Africa.
