On 8 and 9 December, about 800 delegates, among them heads of state from across Africa, will gather in Kigali, Rwanda for the inaugural Kusi Ideas Festival aimed at tapping into the continent’s opportunities and innovations. The pan-African event is part of Nation Media Group’s (NMG) 60th anniversary celebrations and its vision of being a "Media of Africa for Africa," seeking to shape the future of the continent. "NMG has launched the Kusi Ideas Festival to begin building a pan-African ideas transaction market to capitalise on opportunities and innovations available to Africa to help it win in the 21st century," said Clifford Machoka, NMG Group’s Head of Corporate and Regulatory Affairs.
