Google Play to train African developers on how to grow successful businesses

The Google Play team is due to hold a Developer Day this month in Cape Town where it will train app and games developers based in Sub-Saharan Africa on how to grow successful businesses on Android and Google Play.

The Google Play Developer Day is set to take place on 28 November during Africa Games Week.

To attend the event, interested developers must first request an invitation by filling out a form here. Thereafter, the Google Play team will review the request and then send an invitation.

Last year in November, tech publication Android Police reported that South African developers were now able to register for merchant accounts on Google Play, effectively allowing them to sell apps and games on the service. Prior to that, South African developers could only publish free apps and games on Google Play.

Google Play currently supports merchant registration in a handful of African countries, these are: Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tunisia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
