Eric Osiakwan is trying to dispel the notion that all Africa has to offer the world is natural resources. To that end, he has helped set up high-tech infrastructure and businesses in 32 countries across Africa over last decade and a half. He believes that the continent is poised to be the epicenter of a new tech business boom, with mobile devices at the forefront.
