Two Kenyan companies, BRCK and Ona have been ranked by TIME magazine among 2018 top 50 genius companies in the world

The basis for 2018's ranking was 'Businesses Inventing The Future.'

BRCK offers a modem that enables users in remote areas in Kenya to access fast Internet in the absence of fiber networks.


BRCK device mounted on a pole.
The device was designed with developing world conditions in mind - It is weatherproof, shockproof and battery powered.

It also has the capacity to provide internet at 3G speeds for to up to 100 devices at a time.

With a dual-core processor and five-terabyte hard drive, it works as a mini-server, streaming cached content such as textbooks and instructional videos to users without relying on expensive data connections.

Ona, another Kenyan company that made the list, uses satellite imagery and information from NGOs to create a simple digital mapping system.

It helps health workers locate remote places and identify what health services they need, in real time, in the field.

Only 3 African companies were recognised in 2018.

The third is a South-African based business called Agriprotein. It helps farmers grow a supply of flies that are used to feed fish and poultry as well.

Very motivating story here. It shows African companies can also become globally competitive especially in the technology sector

Unaenda NMB, au CRDB.....kuomba salary advance, unaambiwa mara barua ya mwajiri, mkataba wa kazi, ID ya ofisini, salary slip za miezi mitatu....

Naenda TALA, naambiwa tu niwape record ya mapato na matumizi ya miamala ya simu tu basi, mkopo napewa ndani ya dakika kadhaa.....


Makampuni ya Tanzania kaeni hivyo hivyo na uoga wenu wa kuwaona wateja wote ni sawa wanafanana na ni wababaishaji, wenzenu wanafanya biashara creatively kwa kuzingatia mazingira ya sasa ya biashara.....

Tatizo weng hawataki kutumia teknolojia, with a good credit score software unajua moja kwa moja kama mwombaji wa mkopo atalipa, systems zipo siku hizi, wenzetu Ulaya wapo kwenye level ya machine learning.

Mimi hawa tala wameni'analyze ndani ya masaa mawili tu na wamenirejea na hapa ninabenefit na huduma zao bila hata ya kuonana nao ana kwa ana......

Tatizo taasisi zetu za kifedha zinaoperate kwa dharau kwa mteja badala ya kumjali mteja.....


Wana act as if wao hawana shida na mteja katika kumuhudumia.....while in reality wananjaa na mteja tena sana tu....

No wonder nyakati hizi za magufuri wanapitia wakati mgumu sana....sababu wamezoea pesa za dezo dezo na madili ya taasisi....


Mbaya zaidi hizi techniques wanatumia ni za mwaka 47 ambazo mataifa ambayo yapo advanced kama Marekani, china na uarabuni hawa tumii hizi systems za kichwara na ndio maana kwao ni rahisi sana kuaccess mitaji na hata pesa ya matumizi....

Nimewapea mfano mdogo sana wa hii Virtual Credit provider(TALA) wapo available kwaajiri ya mteja at most good faith......hawajaweka dhana ya kumuwekea mteja masharti mengi ambayo mwisho wa siku ukiyabainisha unagundua kuwa hayo masharti ni kikwazo kwa mteja zaidi ya wao wanaposema ni qualification za mteja kuja kwao....
