Some of the ThreeFold team recently attended the Tanzania Annual ICT Conference where ThreeFold co-founder Kristof De Spiegeleer participated in two separate panels.

He took the opportunity to underline the importance of a sovereign Internet and the incredible potential of an open source and decentralized ecosystem to build Tanzania's digital economy.

Take a look at some clips from the talk here.

This past weekend, ThreeFold was honored with a visit from Zanzibar's President Dr. Hussein Mwinyi at the African Regenerative Cities Summit.

There, he formally and publicly expressed the government's commitment to the establishment of a digital free zone, a locally-owned Internet infrastructure, an incubator to support young local innovators – all in collaboration with ThreeFold – and their commitment to the ICT sector as a whole.
