Finterra Expands Its Presence in East Africa
NAIROBI, November 2018 — Last month, a series of events took place in Nairobi, Kenya, between the 17th November to 24th November. With the theme “Unlocking the Hidden Potential of Blockchain Investment”, the Finterra team collaborated with Vital Statistix in promoting blockchain and presenting Finterra and GALLACTIC Blockchain to private investors. These Kenya events covered topics such as investment opportunities, developers’ meetup and general community events.
A golf tournament was also organised, the Finterra Golf Master, that brought together golfers, blockchain enthusiasts, developers and members of the media at the prestigious Muthiaga Golf Club.
During the eight-day events, the developers’ community played a major role in the event and participated to learn and certify themselves on GALLACTIC technology, where they gained knowledge to help them build their own applications on blockchain.
Finterra signed a technology partnership agreement with Vital Statistix to launch and establish Finterra’s GALLACTIC Blockchain presence in East Africa, as Finterra offers a global platform through its various verticals including an Open Source Development platform, E-Commerce and an environment that supports the development and crowdfunding of Endowment (Waqf) assets to potential users in Africa.
The Kenya events also focused on the general community by educating them on what blockchain is and how it is changing the world. The forum on blockchain technology called “Blockchain Your Future” took place at the Oshwal Religious Centre (ORC), Nairobi. Gathered at the conference were tech experts, investors, businessmen and businesswomen, and blockchain enthusiasts.
This event focused on topics that discussed blockchain technology, its applications, mining, and business opportunities in the blockchain industries by a group of experienced and highly qualified speakers. The speakers included the Founder of Finterra Hamid Rashid, Managing Director at Finterra, Satesh Khemlani, and Finterra’s Director of Blockchain Solution, Terry Wilkinson, including the co-founders of Vital Statistix, Dipen Rajani and Yadav Jani, and finally crypto-influencer and evangelist, Nikita Sachdev. The ICT Permanent Secretary and Chairman of a taskforce on blockchain and artificial intelligence, Dr Bitange Ndemo, also gave a presentation at the event.
“The two technologies that will define the world will be blockchain and artificial intelligence. Change is inevitable.” — Dr Bitange Ndemo
The presentations were followed by a Q&A session where guests learned how they could leverage the technology for their business, Finterra Academy and the GALLACTIC Blockchain Investment Opportunity.
Finterra captivated the crowd and received a massive response from over 300 participants. Finterra aims to increase interest and educate individuals and businesses that would benefit from the blockchain technology.
