The month of March is here and it feels like it has a strong global feel. Firstly, one of the people that i subscribe to Alessandro Palombo regularly puts out some geographical content on locations of interestand i think you will enjoy this one. There are many countries that spend time setting up systems to accommodate #investors and new #citizens to help drive growth into various #sectors of their #economies. Those who follow the Middle East will therefore appreciate this piece. The author goes to great lengths to help us see the plus points that make this destination #attractive and what you can do to take advantage of this and other opportunities. Are you concerned about #taxation? Do you have #dependents? Are you a small business owner looking for the perfect conditions in which to set up your business? Is it better to set up a company or to fly solo? All these ideas are explored and presented in this useful piece. Do you have a nation that is struggling to attract top level #talent and #industry? Some of the answers you are looking for may be found in this article. Use it to compare notes with other economies and countries so that you can be a step ahead of the #competition. The advantage of this system is that you can examine systems that others have set in place and then #benchmark for better systems of your own. Perhaps the best part is that the author also tell you some of the negative parts about this location and why he makes the choice not stay there permanently. We also fit in two articles in one when we look at a future looking conversation with Jumanne Mtambalike’s predictions for the coming year in technology. Jumanne is a respected author andinfluential voice in the technology and innovation ecosystem of #Tanzania and #Zanzibar but his reach is in some ways continental with his works helping shape policy on the continent and helping technology founders in his country. I make it a habit to check in with him and what he is working on to sharpen my #intellectual ax. I have also met him briefly when we were both privileged to attend a Vitalik Buterin Sponsored event a few years ago in Eastern Africa. While scrolling, i came across an amazing piece that was looking into Norway and its history with oil and how the country has grown in leaps and bounds through #strategic #thinking, #sacrifice, #discipline and forward thinking #leadership. So many lessons to learn for those who are in young democracies and who are seeking to leapfrog standard systems and methods of operation to take their nations into a prosperous future. Finally we share a Q and A with our very own Donald Maasa co-founder of Uganda’s largest founder focused group Founders Lounge Uganda. He is a lawyer practicing at Summit Advocates and a strong pan-africanist with a pulse on the nations’ urgent needs in the technology and innovation space.
