Intel picks Kenya for new investment
Semiconductor giant Intel has chosen Kenya as the first country in Africa that will get an investment boost from its global Software and Services Group (SSG). The investment will include the creation of programmes to help Kenyan software developers.
Intel will provide developers with design tools, resources and consulting and will this year sponsor three Kenyan technology start-ups for an online training and mentorship programme conducted by University of California (Berkeley) faculty members and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.
The US company says that over the next six months it hopes to reach more than 400 developers and facilitate the development of 100 new applications running on phones and tablets powered by Intel technology.
