Drawn from the American tech savvy region the California based Silicon Valley where the word draws most of its ICT and technology start-ups and developments which has largely been through ingenious innovation, African technologies have also began tapping into the rich model by creating HUBS that have become the home and incubator of most success stories,

Applications such as Ushahidi,  a website that was initially developed to map reports of violence in Kenya after the post-election fallout at the beginning of 2008. Has been used to map scenarios in over 20 countries globally. Such developments can be credited to hubs that have been started all over Africa.

Such Hubs include:

IHub-Kenya

Hub johanesburg- South Africa.
