Inside Africas $60 million Iconic Hub Silicon valley In Botswana.

The $60 million Icon Building serves as the focal point of Botswana’s Silicon Valley-style technological incubator. It is a reflection of the country’s mineral wealth as well as its need to look beyond it. Africa has witnessed the devastation that resource wealth can cause. Glistening corporate headquarters are frequently flanked by shantytowns in locations like Luanda, Angola, and Johannesburg, South Africa; occasionally, the office towers themselves are abandoned as the commodities run out. Botswana is making an effort to avoid falling prey to such trap severely. Diamond mining is a major component of its economy; the Jwaneng open-pit mine, the richest in the world, is located there and is jointly operated by the De Beers Group, a company based in the United Kingdom. However, the government is well aware that diamond mining will eventually end. In small nation of around 2.3 million people, income inequality and unemployment are major issues. Botswana has set out to entice new investment outside the mining sector, which accounts for 80% of the country's export profits and is the largest single contributor to government revenue, as the country no longer extracts as many carats as it once did. To do that, it will employ a technology and innovation centre located in a beautiful new iconic structure, a strategy for economic development used by towns all over the world.

Some African countries are forward-thinking just like their Western counterparts but my country, Nigeria is still battling bad leadership.
