VENTURES AFRICA – Thanks to the launch of the government-backed “Smart Kigali” project, people in Rwanda now have access to free internet via Wi-Fi enabled devices.
The project, which is line with Rwanda’s Vision 2020, symbolises another step towards achieving the East African nation’s prospects of becoming a regional IT hub, as it steadily moves past the tragic events of the 1994 genocide into a future built on a Knowledge-based economy in order to attract more foreign investment. Five years ago, Rwanda launched the “One Laptop Per Child” initiative in schools across the country. So far, the project has seen about 200,000 laptops distributed to more than 400 schools. Going further, Rwandan government signed a $140 million deal with South Korea’s largest Telecom – Korea Telecom (KT) Corp in June, 2013 to provide 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) Broadband networks across the country especially in areas where internet connectivity is low.

What is next? At least three things can happen. For the fortunate few, that piece of paper could bring in immediate rewards. For the majority, it could be either a case of delayed gratification or in most cases the hapless scenario of nothing but a learning opportunity. There is, however, a promising development in Southeast Asia that could potentially help ease the plight of creators and inventors who are counting on their intellectual property (IP) assets, particularly on patents, for financial gains.
Singapore recently introduced an IP financing scheme, a key component in the government’s ambitious and expensive 10-year IP program. Under the Singapore’s IP financing program, the government can partially underwrite the value of patents that are used as collateral in the event of default. Next-door neighbor Malaysia has a similar initiative. The Philippines has not yet released a detailed program on IP valuation.
