Some brilliant ideas shared include, Ayarisa; a HeathTech app seeking to provide smart healthcare, Amerya; a smart app that rates local food and recommends the best service based on the user location, Stride; an app that promises swift delivery with high security, Request; petty cash solutions for organisations, SmartLegs; a shares bus for individuals who are heading towards the same location based on their current location, UNLOQR; a real-time rewarding app for mobile games, Edubase; a fully interactive and informative app that connects students to brilliant teachers in a location, and other related apps were presented at the event.
All these apps are hosted on the Ayoba Super App where they can leverage on the MTN database as part of supporting all the participants in the competition.
