Yabacon, the brainchild of Codessy Technologies, an information technology company that specializes in developing innovative solutions to meet modern challenges, has reiterated its commitment towards unifying the African technology ecosystem.
According to a statement made available to the media, the firm explained that the initiative would help bridge the African tech ecosystem, which it revealed is currently operating in dispersed clusters and increase the productivity and economic activities of the continent and the globe as a whole.
The organization during a recent event in Lagos, disclosed that the aim of the initiative is to enhance the technology sector by having a single large, formidable African technology community focused on generating innovations and solving economic challenges.

In light of this, some interviewees at the event stated that they are eager to see how Yabacon’s vision to unify the tech ecosystem takes shape and hope to see how this vision will support members’ career growth, position them to beat last year’s record, and positively impact the evolution of technology in Africa.
