KasuwaGo is proud to have co-sponsored The Future of Commerce 2022 conference which was organized by TechCabal. The well-attended event, which happened in Lagos, Nigeria on September 23rd, brought together influential business leaders from across the world to share experiences on how commerce is evolving and shaping up across the African continent, and how stakeholders can adequately prepare for these changes. It created an excellent opportunity to meet stakeholders across-many sectors to network and find potential partners.

The Future of Commerce conference was centered on tech and commerce, which fits the purpose for KasuwaGo, a trading app created in response to conversations with legumes farmers and sellers seeking better market connections and economic opportunities within a resilient food system, using mobile-phone technology.

The KasuwaGo app is the flagship of the research project titled, Promoting Trade Integration in Regional Legume Markets with Mobile Technology which is led by Dr Michael Olabisi from Michigan State University and is funded by the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Legume Systems Research.
