Are you interested in starting a business in Nigeria? Do you want to know the key players, the culture, challenges and opportunities that lie within? Here is a brief 15 mins guide of everything you need to know
Nigeria... Yes, it's big, ugly, dangerous, poor, too big, too hot, too rainy. And it's Africa's biggest country and economy, so the potential for startups and entrepreneurs is huge.
During our trip to Lagos to attend the Mobile West Africa 2014 conference, we listened to the speakers, met the key players of the local tech ecosystem, and were amazed, just like all the other emerging markets we explore, by the creativity, the will, and the startups we saw.
Take the trip with us to dive into Nigeria's startup scene. As usual, we love to look back in time to see what are the milestones explaining why the country is where it is today. Oddly enough, Nigeria has long been a very isolated country, with few exports else than natural resources.
Since Nollywood and the most creative movie industry of the continent, it's changing.
Despite the kilometric list of challenges the country is facing, a lot of spots and startups are to be discussed. Wecyclers, BudgIT are among the secret gems we discovered in Lagos, and for sure, there's more than that.

Learnings from the White House Delegationnarenbakshi
Here is a recent presentation I've given to the Institute For The Future in Palo Alto and the Alliance of CEOs. The focus was to share learnings from the White House delegation in September that helped prepare for President Obama's visit this week.
LES FONDEMENTS DE LA START UP NATION : culture, education, high tech, innovation, venture capital, exits
Tout ce que vous devez savoir sur la Startup Nation
Alan Weinkrantz, Rackspace’s Brand Ambassador to Israel, shares his insights on Israel’s startup and innovation economy at Café Commerce / San Antonio.
Weinkrantz has traveled to Israel more than 50 times in the last 20 years and has just returned from an initial four month engagement to introduce and promote the Rackspace Startups program. Israel is now the world’s second largest startup ecosystem after Silicon Valley and ranked. He returns to Israel April 4.
Weinkrantz is a contributing columnist to "The Times of Israel" and "Geektime," where he covers the narrative of the startup economy.
In this talk Weinkrantz will shares his insights, compelling facts, photography and his view of how and why Israel has become a startup and innovation economic power house that last year saw over $3 billion in startup exits.
This report clearly details the complex challenges facing young people across the Arab world. Among these great challenges is employment — or the lack of it.
The MENA region faces one of the highest rates of youth unemployment and underemployment in the world. Creating the required number of new jobs over the next two decades will be monumentally difficult. Even more young people have been forced into unemployment, low-quality jobs, and living “on the margins” as a result of the weakened global economic climate.
The global economic crisis hits the MENA region at a time when the youth share of the total population is at a high point, with nearly one-third of MENA residents between the ages of 15 and 29.
During the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, there were multiple lessons provided to the world. In this talk, I set the stage for the discussion, highlight the issues we faced (and still face), I speak to an effort that contributed to help address one of those issues, then speak to future challenges and our responsibilities going forward.

A third world nation just 50 years ago, Korea is now the world's 15th biggest economy, a major force in the global tech scene and home to Samsung, the world's top smartphone manufacturer. It is also rapidly emerging as a regional tech hub and startup hotbed as well as an avid consumer of new technology.
But it wasn't always like this.
This Slideshare provides a glimpse into Korea's tech past to explain how the nation has rapidly emerged as a global heavyweight. Then we dive into the startup ecosystem which has been built on top of a world class tech infrastructure and provide clues to what you can expect from Korea in the years to come.

Innovation is everywhere - Malaysia Innovation Ecosystem and Startup SceneInnovation is Everywhere
Malaysia is a rather small country in populous South-East Asia, with 29 million inhabitants, North of Singapore and south of Thailand, with a "peninsular" part and half the island of Borneo (shared with Indonesia).
Malaysia has been early to invest a lot in high technology and has a Silicon Valley of its own since 1997. Is infrastructure enough to create conditions for innovation?
In this presentation, we share the milestones of Malaysia as an innovation ecosystem, we identify their best practices (in particular the neat organization of the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Kuala Lumpur) and assess their strengths and weaknesses.
Read more about us as we roam the world to explore the emerging markets startups scenes, from Iran to Chile, from China to Nigeria.

Innovation is Everywhere
Few countries can boast having a third of its GDP stored as mobile money in the hands of a telecom group. There is no miracle in the rise of MPesa, but a deep understanding by Safaricom of the social fabric of East Africa’s tech and economic hub, as well as a lots of test and try. The lure of mobile money have lots of startups competing into this space, to connect remittances, shopping and payments to the MPesa infrastructure. Other than that, Kenya is also experiencing a double motion in its innovation ecosystem: if it’s definitely a community-driven startup hub, its government is also playing a key role through laws and pharaonic projects.

Innovation is Everywhere - Hong Kong innovation ecosystemAgence Tesla
Hong Kong is a very particular place in China. After a long British rule, it's "Chinese" again, but keeps its identity as the financial hub of Asia.
How Hong Kong is trying to become a startup Hub for both China and Asia? What are the best practices of the local tech ecosystem? What are the startups to remember?
Mixing an analysis of the history of technological innovation, present-day trends and identifying both top connectors and good ideas to foster entrepreneurship, this report aims to give a broad overview of what's happening in Hong Kong right now in 2014.
Innovation is Everywhere is a project where we visit one country per month to discover, explore and share stories on local innovation, startup, and the tech ecosystem.

Building your reputation as a small business or an entrepreneur on social med...Agence Tesla
Are you an entrepreneur, a startup or a SME looking for some visibility and leads online?
Here are the slides of a talk we have delivered at the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Singapore, in April 2015, to an audience of Entrepreneurs and small business owners.
After a few slides introducing what is the online world and how to make it understanble from a Digital, Social and Mobile perspective, we dive into how Marketing as a trade is being renewed in the digital age.
Market Research is being replaced by Social media listenting. Traditional adversiting in the media is being replaced by online ads, more targeted and traceable. PR is being renewed thanks to new influencers (bloggers, twitter account, chatgroups) that can be identified in order to hit only people relevant to your business.
You will find also a series of free or almost free to use tools to setup a website, create a visual charter and design, produce content and schedule it on social media.
We finish this talk with a focus on Content Marketing, the key of any online strategy, and how your brand, whatever small it is, must act as a media and bring AMAZING content to attract crowds to your website.

Social media: the best of 2014, and perspectives for 2015 - Social commerce, ...Agence Tesla
Quite a huge 2014 year we saw for online marketing overall, and social media in particular. Politics have, again, played a huge rule (sometimes unwantonly) in creating new behaviors. In Asia in particular:
Modi's election in India made him the second most followed politician on Facebook. With 27m fans, he's just behind Obama (The New York Times).
The Hong Kong Protests, and fear of Chinese censorship or network surveillance, propelled a whole series of new behaviors and apps, such as FireChat, which does not require access to the 3G or 4G networks (check this superb webdocumentary).
In Indonesia, the presidential election who made Jokowi the new leader of the 250m population country also showed how strong Twitter was there. Indonesia now makes more than 15% of ALL tweets globally.
A lot of new features have popped-up on our top social media, and a few trends are emerging, such as:
The rise of social commerce with Buy Buttons (Twitter, FB) and in-app shops (especially in messaging apps), and even Money transfer on Twitter and WeChat. YES, we may get close to a world with less banks...
More self-destruct post features, following the success of Snapchat. Instagram has it with Bolt, Facebook adds it as a feature...
Native advertising will, hopefully, help us get rid of banners and low-level ads. Did you know AdBlock is now used by 5% of the world's internet users (Monday Note)?
This month on social media, quite a few new things to notice:
Mobile apps usage increase again...
Even though fewer apps are actually downloaded... In this "winner takes all" competition, early starters and branded apps can hope to make it. It remains difficult to market an app with traditional marketing.
Facebook events for Pages will be promoted right into the Newsfeed...
...and not only on the right hand column. It's a very useful way to get people (your fans, or any other target on Facebook, even your own e-mail database) to get to know you hold an event. Once people are your shop, it's your turn to convert them ; )
Twitter tries to get into e-commerce
After having shown the power of the Cards format, Twitter is now pairing with Amazon to allow Twitter users to save on their wishlist anything they will hashtag with #AmazonWishList
Instagram launches new Business Tools
Ads in self-service are not yet available, but until then, you can still practice your analytics skill with the new set of tools provided by Instagram. You will be able to see insights from the account (such as new followers or impressions) as well as for ads if you have some.
The patch - Social media updates august 2014: Facebook and Twitter Buy Button...Agence Tesla
E-commerce and social media continue their convergence and integration with three great news this month in our review of updates:
- Facebook testing a Buy Button to have ads directly linking to purchase on external retailers. With the large repertoire of possible ads now present on Facebook, it should be a hit!
- Twitter launches an analytics for the Organic Reach of tweets. It shows accounts which tweet more can get up to 30% more followers. We usually advice a pace of a few tweets a day minimum.
- Pinterest helps Shopify stores with Rich Pins, who integrate metadata about price and more
Innovation is Everywhere - Lebanon innovation ecosystemAgence Tesla
Yes, you can innovate in Lebanon, despite the "turmoil", noisy neighbors and a territory you can cross by foot in a few days.
As we explore emerging markets to detect how these countries innovate and foster entrepreneurship and tech ecosystems, we attended Arabnet conference 2014, a great place to collide with the local geeks and a broader generation of entrepreneurs from the Levant region.
MENA is quite a huge place to explore, demographics is poised to increase, and they remain quite an untapped market. This is why we go there to see what happen and share these stories with you.
What's the story behind Lebanon recent wave of innovative startups like Instabeat (connected swim goggles)? Did you know the Central Bank was betting as much as 1% of the local economy to the knowledge economy? And with 12M diasporans for 4M "homeland" citizens, there's quite a network of Lebanese you can leverage when thinking of scaling a startup.
Come with us in this discovery of a tiny country with a giant heart and quite a will for innovation, and follow us on www.innovationiseverywhere.com, we've already been to Malaysia, Iran, Hong Kong, Kenya, and will go to Shenzhen, Nigeria, Chile, Israel...

Startups from Africa (2013) following the Savannah Fund Demo Day in Nairobi, ...Agence Tesla
African tech is big, and growing.
Kenya, and capital city Nairobi, are one of the epicenter of tech and startups in Africa.
After attending Afrikoin, a conference on mobile money and digital currencies, the Savannah Fund, an early stage VCs based in Nairobi, showcased 4 startups.
Say hi to Zished (gifting for the diaspora, Ghana), Inforex (better forex information, Uganda), Instaid (Digitizing aid paper vouchers, Kenya) and Zatiti (mobile e-commerce websites for businesses, Kenya).
We'll be publishing shortly our "Innovation Ecosystem" analysis of Kenya as well, and more is on martinpasquier.com blog
The Patch, Dec. 2013: Google+ is your (workplace's) friend, Pinterest getting...Agence Tesla
In this end of year, social media networks keep innovating and differentiating to attract users and tempt advertisers to bet on their platforms. The "battle for the teens" we talked of last month keep raging, with Facebook admitting losses.
As always, a few trends emerge from the mass of data we have compiled this month to make them more actionable.
Google+ keeps improving a lot and becomes quite a good place for collaborative work and your office place. Seriously, stop thinking of followers or fans on Google+, it's just not about that. In addition to the quite cool Circles, Hangouts, Communities already there, Google+ adds this month Restricted Communities to make it your internal social network for employees. Hangouts too are becoming increasingly easy to use within a corporation.
With Streak, a CRM tool integrated to Gmail (and Google Apps if you use them as a business), and Drive (Google's cloud, which integrates the best to date shared document system with Google Docs), Google becomes a one-stop-shop for the connected workplace. Yes, this is social media too, far from the Likes and campaigns we also practice, but ROI in terms of productivity, ease of use and price is very clear.
This month also shows that money helps, if we had any doubt. Pinterest, after more than $200m of funding, is expanding both geographically (Nordic countries) and in terms of features. With "Place Pins", they transform visual curation and bookmarks into inspirational maps. The best thing? With a "booking" button to be integrated soon, it will confirm its position as a key driver for traffic and conversation.
Advertising keeps maturating slowly but surely: Instagram ads reaches 3-5% conversion rates, Twitter intertwines TV and Twitter ads with great results, and even good old Facebook now allows for micro-targeted ads. How about a (social) offer for women actively buying women's accessories, or for auto intenders of the last Subaru? This is all possible now!
We wish you a fruitful last month of 2013, and meet you again with The Patch early January. We will *not* make any predictions, forecast or bullshit for 2014, but we'll probably wrap-up the best of last year.

2. Innovation has no place in a global world, it’s everywhere
Innovation ecosystems can learn from one another
Local context matters and should be a source for innovators
This is why…
We’re on a world tour of innovation ecosystems,
starting with Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!
We believe…

11. Pros and cons of Malaysia
innovation ecosystem

effective infrastructure (visa, equity, tax,
internet access)
• Existing success stories in traditional as
well as tech biz
• 4 out of 5 top listed tech companies of
South-East Asia are Malaysian-based
• Proximity of Singapore for talent,
mobility, funding
• Cheaper than Singapore, big airline Hub
for Asia and Middle-East
• Market size and too rare overseas
expansion
• Resource-based economy where ICT has
less impact than in service-based
economy
• Innovation can be more in local context
(oil&gas, religious finance…)
• Singapore seen as competitor, not as a
connector
• Lack of successful entrepreneurs turned
mentors for next generation
• Potential ethnic issues & perception of
unfairness
PROS CONS

17. What’s next for Malaysia?
Recommendations to push forward the innovation ecosystem
18. Next steps for
Malaysia innovation ecosystem
Evolution of the role of the government, from leader to feeder
• Government must learn to withdraw when useful
“David Rose at #GES2013 "you don't pay someone to be an entrepreneur" talking of gov
agencies #ecosystems #government”
• Improving wages for developers in web technologies
".@bjoernlasse at #Ges2013: a dev in #Malaysia gets $2000/month. developed countries
make their growth on tech co's: bridging the gap”
• Improve diversity within the Malaysian ecosystem
“Nazrin Hassan, VC in #Malaysia at #Ges2013 : innovation ecosystems need a diversity of
people, networks. Do not build with local people only”
• Make universities investors of their students’ projects
“Universities backing students projects: #stanford got $336M back from Google, Univ. of
Florida got $150M #GES2013 #edu #edtech c/ @annelalou”
19. Next steps for
Malaysia innovation ecosystem
The energy of the community can address new challenges
• Identify local strengths and key economic industries
“NY is the capital city for finance, for advertising, and many other industries. An ecosystem is anchored
locally, and must take advantage of the existing entrepreneurial base“ (David Rose)
• Do a startup to address an issue, not for the lifestyle
“Too many people do their own thing for the sake of doing their own thing. They're not thinking of
solving a problem #GES2013 @501Awani (@Cherish_Leow)”
• Bet on local communities and make them entrepreneurs
“Empower rural, women and religious communities to find your ‘Blue Ocean’ of innovation and expand in
SEA and Middle-East rather than duplicating the Silicon Valley”
• Improve the storytelling capacity of Malaysia as a startup Hub
“M'sia need to market better its plenty of success startup stories to inspire. One M'aia startup sold out to
google for 70M USD. #GES2013 (@airaniss)”
20. Next steps for
Malaysia innovation ecosystem
Start local, go global (global does not mean “Silicon Valley” only)
• Stop benchmarking against the Silicon Valley
“Benchmarking against the Silicon Valley makes no sense for #Malaysia #ecosystem : would you
benchmark against Lionel Messi? #GES2013” (David Rose, NY)
• Open Malaysia to the world
“In the Silicon Valley, half the founders and 70% of PhD are foreign-born immigrants. Israel is ranked
highly in entrepreneurs’ minds also for its capacity to link with New York, the Silicon Valley or Europe for
its own startups” (Bjoern Herrmann, Startup Genome)
• Using Singapore as a Hub for talent and mobility
“If Malaysia was really bold, they could create a free zone for startups in Johor Baru to offer Singapore-
based innovators easier visa, cheaper costs and same access to a global hub”
• Create bridges with like-minded countries where local Malaysian startup can sell the same service
“There’s a copycat syndrome too in Tanzania, but we push people to work on rural issues, which are key
in other countries, even in Asia, where there is a great divide between urban elite and rural populations”
(George Mulamula, CEO of Tanzania incubator DTBi)
