Apparently, blockchain technology has more applications that cryptocurrencies. And I suspect that this interesting development is just the first of many. Curious to know why this Singapore-based company chose to launch in Rwanda and how Rwanda is benefiting from the deal. Perhaps African American tech companies and entrepreneurs might consider exploring Rwanda and other African nations for mutually beneficial relationships.
