In a fast moving and evolving industry such as ICT, it is essential that stakeholders work together to create an environment in which opportunities are supported and able to flourish. Improving access to capital in the region requires the challenging task of stimulating an entire national ecosystem of private and public sector support, and the building of connections and synergies between all relevant supporting institutions and expertise.
Knowing that access to capital is essential for the materialization of new ideas and the growth of the ICT and ICTES sectors, how accessible is financing to the sector in the region, and what challenges do entrepreneurs and business seeking capital face?
What initiatives exist to promote financing of ICT and ICTES, and how supportive are government interventions in this area?
