What's Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, AI and Gaming got to do with Space? - (see what I did there? lol)
In this very refreshing edition of the Space Ecosystem Playbook, we sit with three trailblazing guests whose work spans ground-level innovation and orbital ambition:
- Jay Shapiro - founder of Usiku Games and chair of the Pan-Africa Gaming Group,
- Eddie Kago - Blockchain advocate and founder of Antugrow
- Rama Afullo - Ex-Tesla, Ex-Google, Ex-SpaceX — now building Satlyt.ai
Why is this conversation important you ask?
Because space doesn't operate in a vacuum — and neither does innovation. From on-chain identity and credit scoring for African farmers, to gaming as a gateway to digital skills, to building interoperability protocols for satellites in orbit, these guests reveal how frontier technologies are actively shaping space access and participation.
We dissect funding, infrastructure, ownership, trust, and why Africa can't afford to sit this one out.
This episode is an invitation to supercharge the African space ecosystem by learning from other frontier builders.
