  Hi everybody,
  
  I would like to contribute whatever possible that Africa succeeds with the quantum leap into the information society. Up to now, I only have a private connection, my husband being from Ghana. I have never been there though. I also think that it is time to integrate African ICT-firms into the international business opportunity networks - expanding their business in European markets for example like the indian and Chinese do already very successfully. I also hope this forum will come up with valuable new ideas how this can be done in near future.
  Kind regards, Gaby Meissner

  Dear Gabriel, I cannot but agree with all the things said above. I am right now founding webhosting company with web developement opportunities and I have to focus on Africa being quite interesting region to establish partnership contacts in. However it seems hard at the present moment to enter that market since posts about such opportunities are limited and seems that noone would like to establish mutual beneficial cooperation with EU based webhosting company. Do you have any ideas how to find partners in IT filed in Africa region? As well I am searching for partners in another regions two, as to my mind, well-developped newtwork of partners and resellers can bring good profits from the very beginning. Looking forward to hearing from you.
