Cina Lawson leads about 10 local startups to 2018 VivaTech Conference

(Togo First) - A group of ten Togolese startups led by the minister of posts and digital economy, Cina Lawson, is currently in Paris for the Vivatech conference, which is under the patronage of French President, Emmanuel Macron.

“I came with about ten entrepreneurs who develop many apps. I would like to congratulate them for their constant genius,” the minister said in a tweet, adding that she is “proud to see Togo so well represented at such a big tech rendezvous”.  

This third edition of the event puts Africa forward, with a space especially dedicated to about 100 African startups. The Togolese delegation will have the chance to meet major global actors of the tech industry.

Already, Cina Lawson met with Rwanda’s president, Paul Kagamé, and UBA’s CEO, Tony Elumelu. She also had discussions with Edem Fiadjoe, CEO of JetSolutions, and Helton Yawovi, CEO of DashmakeStartup, two young Togolese of the diaspora.

It is important to indicate that President Macron has already promised to disburse €65 million for African startups, at the conference.
