Key Quotes "Data is the new currency. Data is the new gold, data is the new cobalt. Data is so important that whoever owns data will command and control the highest and the best terms and they will dictate the direction of the world." - Zain Verjee "We don't want a situation where people are coming to the continent and solving problems that we have... they don't understand the local context at all." - Megan Yates "Sometimes we just don't need a general purpose model. Sometimes we just need some sort of a translation model for just one language to solve one problem." - Clinton Oduor "The problem is like, where do we get this data to feed these algorithms that already exist, that people have already proved that they work really well." - Clinton Oduor "African tech people want to be working on the continent... there's so many entrepreneurs. What I love from Zindi is that people have actually often used prize money that they've won through challenges to start their own businesses." - Megan Yates
