What is iHub Nairobi?
*iHub_ is a venture of its kind; it's a communication and interaction hub for Kenyan technology entrepreneurs, investors, companies and start-ups, and developers. Be they mobile, internet, gadget and related tech community members.
The iHub is what we as a tech community make it. It is a blank canvas, a big open room with a great view and wonderful location, but still an empty room that needs some input from people within the community to design, and create a culture around.• Erik Hersman on WhiteAfrican | Founder of iHub
