The Intersection of Diaspora, Tech, and Future
A Look Back at Our Panel with IOM
In a world of rapid digital transformation, 1TRIBE consistently seeks to ground itself in the legacy and promise of Africa. Our recent rendezvous at the University of Cape Verde with IOM embodied this philosophy.

The recent panel at the University of Cape Verde, organized by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), showcased the rich blend of expertise and viewpoints, all united under the shared mission of advancing Africa's diverse communities.
H.M. Jorge Santos, Minister of Communities of Cabo Verde, brought his lifelong commitment to public service to the table. His experiences offer invaluable lessons on the complexities and rewards of uniting different communities under a common banner.
Killian Clifford from IOM enriched the discussion by examining the crossroads of migration and economic growth. His deep knowledge of global policies cast a spotlight on how communities abroad can serve as agents of meaningful change.
Dr. Ângela Coutinho seamlessly connected scholarly depth with real-world applications. Representing both the Cabo Verdean diaspora and the field of international relations, her insights enriched the discourse in a meaningful way.

Blockchain's Revolutionary Role: A standout point was the vast potential of blockchain technology. With our alliance with the Polkadot ecosystem and the WEB3 Foundation, 1TRIBE is on the forefront, merging tech aspirations with cultural goals.
Closing Thoughts: This wasn't just an event—it was a town crier's call. With the power of diaspora communities, tech, and cultural heritage combined, Africa's horizon gleams brightly.
