It’s time for March Developers Parapo Folks!!!
…and this time, CcHUB invites you to a fun evening for Nigerian mobile application developers and tech entrepreneurs to explore collaboration opportunities with Tecno.
In 2008, an enterprising Chinese mobile phone maker turned its attention to Africa. In a little less than 5 years since she made that strategic decision, Tecno has garnered an interesting chunk of the mobile phone segment in Africa’s most populous nation.
It is not uncommon to find that an increasing number of first-time smartphone users in Nigeria sporting Tecno branded devices for its relatively pocket-friendly prices and increasing durability. The stats are interesting. With a 20% market share of the market in 2012 and the number 1 spot in dual sim phones in the African market space. Tecno must be doing something right in understanding and meeting their customer needs. Tecno prides itself in good quality, general features, professional services and innovative technologies specially crafted to cater to the peculiar needs of the African market.
At this month’s edition of Developer’s Parapo, Mr. Chidi Okonkwo, DGM, Tecno, will be speaking on ‘Tecno- Opportunities for Growth. You will learn first-hand Tecno’s modest but inspiring journey in Africa and strategic market information and data that Nigerian tech entrepreneurs and developers can use to generate returns from the growing Tecno mobile ecosystem.
In addition, Tecno will be unveiling details of the Tecno Mobile Apps Challenge designed to motivate and reward Nigerian, Kenyan & Ethiopian developers to develop innovative, functional and original J2ME & Android applications on Tecno mobiles for the respective markets in these countries. Besides taking home prize money and Tecno branded devices, the ultimate goal of the contest is to expose the hidden talent within the African developer community and to seek potential partners / employees of Tecno in the future.
And if you are looking to network with industry experts and tech enthusiasts, this month's Parapo is a must-attend.
