1) What characterizes Mohamed Diaby ?

Three things:pragmatism, serial entrepreneur, conversationalist.

2) What are your thoughts on the E Summer School event ?
Again a brilliant idea from Israel. I would love to see more initiatives like this one happening here. It’s also a good opportunity to share knowledge and experience,which as a conversationalist,I judge to be precede any action.

3) Barcamp Abidjan , YCD and now E Summer School, with all these events taking place in Abidjan, do you see a particular trend shaping up ?

Yes, I do and my only hope is that brands will understand and get involved . The organizers of such events showed that they can do more with less, and the hope is that they do much more with more.

4) What do you expect to bring to the E Summer School 2011 participants?

I want to share with them a new vision on the opportunities out there for young entrepreneurs, clever methods to output the best of what they’ve learned and the ways to connect with partners to start a success story as entrepreneurs.

5) Tweeter or Facebook, Gmail or Yahoo… which one do you prefer to use ?
I am social media and tech addict living online so don’t ask
