Distributed ledger technologies have gained popularity in recent years. In 2017 alone, startups and innovators around the world raised funds much faster through the issuance of utility and security tokens compared to traditional ways of raising seed capital.

Increased adoption of blockchain technologies around the world has been met by an acute shortage of talent, especially from Sub-Saharan Africa.

This presents an urgent need to equip developers from the developing world with the necessary skills to compete on the global stage and further solve societal and economic challenges using distributed ledger technologies.

If you're keen on learning emerging trends and fancy building a solid foundation in blockchain development, join us at our first developer meet in Africa to be held at JKUAT.
