2 BIG TAKEAWAYS
Treat Africa as it’s own region
Stop colluding with the operators. Start colluding with your customers.
![Page 12: Nokia: Innovating in Africa talk](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/546b3ecab4af9fb5148b5095/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
IT’S MORE THAN A HANDSET
Operating system
User interface
App stores
Data costs
Payment solutions
Meaningful accessories

Engage developers, third party programmers and businesses is where innovation comes from, not a large, slow company.
![Page 15: Nokia: Innovating in Africa talk](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/546b3ecab4af9fb5148b5095/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Standardize your UI and OS, strengthen your APIs. Get out of the way and let software developers innovate on a platform.
![Page 16: Nokia: Innovating in Africa talk](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/546b3ecab4af9fb5148b5095/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Make it easy for developers to make money, even in Africa. Figure out a way that people get paid and can bill via your server-side offerings (like Ovi).
![Page 17: Nokia: Innovating in Africa talk](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/546b3ecab4af9fb5148b5095/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Take some of the big money that's being thrown at high-profile "global social change competitions", which generally attract Western organizations, and do more smaller-scale work at the grassroots level.
![Page 18: Nokia: Innovating in Africa talk](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/546b3ecab4af9fb5148b5095/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A large percentage of users can't afford the data plan to get on your own websites and the Ovi store.
Zero rate them.

Consider a specialized site for Africa, loading fast on low bandwidth.
![Page 20: Nokia: Innovating in Africa talk](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/546b3ecab4af9fb5148b5095/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
You were way too slow on the dual SIM card movement, that if anything showed you had lost your innovative practices in the emerging markets like Africa.

Today it's driving the cheapest candybar phone to the lowest possible price. Good, keep that up. While you're doing so, make the battery last longer and keep thinking of great ways to recharge it (solar or bicycle dyno).

But, look ahead are realize that even here in Africa, people want Smartphones with real web browsers, social networking and entertainment apps.
Do it for under $100.

Software isn't your strong point, hardware is.
Consider embracing Android.
![Page 25: Nokia: Innovating in Africa talk](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/546b3ecab4af9fb5148b5095/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
SD cards = digital storage.
In fact, provide these with content already on them, including books, encyclopedias, textbooks, media, etc...
![Page 26: Nokia: Innovating in Africa talk](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/546b3ecab4af9fb5148b5095/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Cloud-based services, including heavy application processes, would mean deeper penetration into phones with less RAM, content backup, and a content creation and sharing link that is still untapped.
![Page 27: Nokia: Innovating in Africa talk](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/546b3ecab4af9fb5148b5095/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

SOFTWARE
Give us a good inbuilt browser on web-enabled phones!
A platform that runs cloud-based services for mobiles
Use Android for the OS. Nokia makes horrible software.
Leverage size to standardize operating systems and user interface for mobiles.
Work on the Ovi Store. It’s 2010 and it’s all about the software.

COMMUNITY
Collaborate with local researchers and share the data
Nokia needs to win the developers back but between Symbian, Meego and Maemo Nokia’s platform seems to be a mess.
