Sponsored: Leading in the new digital age
As IT leaders, we are required to have our finger on the pulse of every technology innovation. If there is a new shiny term, we must be the ones who can break it down and explain the value.

In May 2022, IDC predicted that ICT spending across Sub-Saharan Africa will increase at a CAGR of 6.1% over the 2021-2025 period, while investments in digital `innovation accelerators’ such as 3D printing, AI, AR/VR, robotics, blockchain, and IoT will increase at a CAGR of more than 19% over the same timeframe.
