The role of Social
Media and global

Focus Areas
Key information is presented to
the business owner in a safe and
learning conducive environment
Online study programs are curated and
presented to incubatees
Local and international
expert resources can
concentrate efforts on
incubation centers
Interface with external parties and a
broad network of advisers and
mentors
Critical dimensions for
selection include leap-frog
potential, span of benefits,
people-centricity and
innovation.
Example: IDEA-Nigeria is a highly focused on
software development as part of it’s defining
charter– other such hubs may focus on
content, media or other areas
The anticipated multiplied impact is that each successful business
will generate 10 to 50 times the developmental benefits of the initial
investment
Impact of Social Media and New networks
Impact of Social Media and New networks
Social Media: Impact
Individuals
• Create their own content
• Expose themselves to
online risks
• Build and sustain
positive friendships
• Have rapid access to
news and opinion
• Exposed to
opportunities to exploit
anonymity for fraud
Media • Traditional media losing
relevance with the younger
demographic
• Convergence between
media leading to hybrid
media (eg advertising in
online videogames)
IT Networks
• Local networks and
infrastructure strained to the
limit to deliver last-mile
connectivity
• Rapid ramp up of
broadband capability at the
back-end
The homogenisation of youth culture results in reduced
differentiation by culture and circumstance within the
demographic – with the resultant consumption and
generation of the same media using the same technology
tools (watching Game of Thrones on tablets and tweeting
about the season finale). Profound opportunities exist for
innovative adaptations of globally tested formulations.
All business progress is tracked
and logged by standarised
assessment and monitoring
tools
Correlation algorithms analyse
logs for patterns and escalate to
human security operatives
