As the world around us becomes more digitized and more mobile driven by the increase in Smartphone penetration, Kenya is not being left behind as we already haves over 8 Million + smartphones. We need to exploit this new medium of communication to create solutions for some of our current challenges.
Southwell and Huawei see this as an opportunity to impact Kenya’s tourism sector, education sector and infotainment industry by creating video experiences that allow users to market the country globally, cascade information and learning to every corner of our country as well as creating an additional revenue line for the much talented Kenyan youth
In the spirit of sharing experiences, Huawei is committed to seeking innovations that have impacted the Chinese markets, repackaging them and introducing them to the Kenya market with the aim of creating Kenyan success stories
“It is with this same spirit that we will be launching a video streaming solution that we not only hope will spur an uptake on the use of video communication to fill the ICT infrastructures that have already been laid down by many players in the communication sector but shall also influence some of our Chinese counterparts back in China to come experience the beauties that this great country has to offer as we will broadcast some of Kenya’s tourist sites live to over 200 Million potential viewers” said Huawei CEO Mr. Dean Yu.
The App is can be downloaded from Google play store.
