In this edition of our Technology and Innovation Tuesday (#TIT) series, we take a look at African innovations that could have changed the world but can’t be found.

This has been largely blamed on lack of funding and prototyping equipment which makes the process costly and burdensome, as well as, inadequate government support.

Below are some of the African innovations that could have changed the world but can’t be found.
