Inveneo Launches Partner Program for IT Entrepreneurs in Africa

Inveneo, a non-profit social enterprise, announced plans to formalize and scale its Inveneo Certified ICT Partner (ICIP) program. This is a program to recruit, train, certify and support in-country Information and Communication Technology (ICT) professionals with the goal of improving availability, affordability, and local support levels for ICTs in remote and rural communities in the developing world.


Inveneo is able to launch this program and rollout in East Africa due to the support from 50x15, a global initiative founded by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) to enable 50 percent of the world’s population with affordable Internet access and computing capability by the year 2015.

New Technology enables print ing without ink, ribbons or toner.

ZINK is a breakthrough technology that produces on-demand color images and photos - without ink, ribbons or toner. The ZINK technology enables a new category of color printers and paper that work as a system to print a whole new way.

The key to this process is the patented ZINK paper, an advanced composite material with dye crystals embedded inside and a protective polymer overcoat layer outside. ZINK paper is durable, colorful, and affordable.

Before printing, the embedded dye crystals are colorless, so ZINK paper looks like regular white photo paper. The ZINK printer uses heat to activate and colorize these dye crystals. The printing process is now radically simple. Just add paper and press "print". The result is high quality, long-lasting, durable, and affordable images.
