He said the company is bidding on a telecommunications as well as a transportation contract in Ethiopia among other things.
The company has bid on multiple contracts with the goal of servicing hundreds of deals with the goal of bringing more users onto Cardano.
Hoskinson also talked about Cardano’s partnership with World Mobile in Tanzania in order to deploy 4G mesh network and micro ISPs.
Speaking about his favorite country in Africa, Hoskinson said:
” Probably the most professional African country is Rwanda at this point. Its the right size, it has the right thought process and the government is set up for foreign tendering.”

In 2018, Hoskinson revealed big plans for Ethiopia and the continent and the recent update reveals some of his failed plans as well as the wins achieved so far.
“2020 is about turning everything on and 2021 is all about the Clash of the Titans where we go and demonstrate to the world that this truly is the best platform to do things, and get thousands of Dapps and tokens and projects built on Cardano and we just keep on scaling. The system was built for that.” ~ Charles Hoskinson, Founder, Cardano
