There’s a lot of buzz about blockchain, but what does it all mean? What are some new ways that we can use blockchain in Kenya? How can we use this technology to bring more people into the financial system? We hope to answer these questions and more in our first forum in Kenya.
Celo is building products for financial inclusion utilizing the power of blockchain.
You are invited to come meet the team and learn more about the technology behind the protocol. Coffee, tea, and breakfast on the house.
Please RSVP. Space is limited.
