THE RISE OF PAN-AFRICAN DEVELOPERS

We are living in an era where the digital age has revolutionised how people communicate, work, learn and play. The African continent is embracing a technological disruption underpinned by a rising wave of innovation that is contributing to alleviating poverty and reducing inequality while facilitating rapid delivery of products and services.

The rise of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) on the continent is opening doors for developers and businesses alike to access new revenue streams and maximise customer value by providing high quality, differentiated, profitable features and services faster and cost-effectively.

Playing an active role to build a bold, new digital world that unlocks sustainable economic growth opportunities through innovation and inclusion, MTN has extended its digital strategy by offering the first PanAfrican API marketplace called Chenosis.

Chenosis enables developers to tap into the largest library of open API products and services from across the continent, ranging from telecommunications, e-health, e-government, Internet of things, fintech, e-commerce, identity and authentication, payments and collections, location and more, from a single marketplace.

An increasingly digital and connected Africa is providing new ways for entrepreneurs and consumers to participate in the economy and increasing Africa’s economic competitiveness in the global arena. ■
