Lacina Koné is Director General of Smart Africa, an initiative made up of 24 African countries created with the aim of accelerating the continent’s digital transformation and stimulating the creation of its technological fabric through the regulatory, legal and political harmonisation of its members. From his position, Koné has been lucky enough to witness the changes being experienced by such a diverse continent, where digitalisation is occurring at a startling rate. His intervention in the Smart City Expo World Congress 2019 bore witness to this.
