Commenting on the developemnt, John Kieti, Manager of m:lab East Africa, said:
“Mobile Web East Africa is bound to bring together key stakeholders contributing to the growth of the mobile web and related economic platforms in the region. It is complementary to the work we are doing at m:lab East Africa to help nurture mobile entrepreneurship so it was an easy decision to formally support the conference.”
On behalf of iHub, Hamilton Juma who is a manager at the innovation hub said:
“As a part of our remit to foster the growth of the ecosystem, the *iHub_ is really pleased to be linking up with All Amber on Mobile Web East Africa 2012. It’s a fantastic event, so we’re glad to be such a part of it and to have some of our members demonstrating their work.”
Matthew Dawes, Founder & Managing Director, All Amber noted:
“The confirmation of support from these two organisations can be seen as a major piece in this year’s Mobile Web East Africa 2012 jigsaw. Events like this rely on partnerships with key industry organisations; I can’t think of another conference which has attracted this array and calibre of supporters.”
