About IBM IN Africa:
IBM identifies Africa as one of the key growth markets in the world, and has in the recent past made significant investments in the continent as part of its growth plan. Currently, IBM is present in more than 20 African countries. IBM opened its first research lab in Africa in August 2012, located at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Nairobi. An example of IBM commitment to Africa can be seen in it’s focus on mobile banking, a solution that has transformed the African economy. IBM has partnerships with many African companies to ensure improved services for customers. Safari com’s M-pesa, for example, runs on an IBM platform, and IBM puts effort into ensuring M-pesa clients get the best of the service.
