Cape Verde geniuses aiming to take over the global tech space with their software
From their office in Alto de Miramar in the city of Mindelo on the Island of São Vicente, a national flagship technological tool was invented.
Called ‘Less’, the software which aims to facilitate the day-to-day work and optimise time and cost of website and digital platform development was created by a group of young men originally for a company called Chuva.
The platform, according to Expressodasilhas, allows software development with maximum time and efficiency, eliminating human error among other things.
After realising its potential, the masterminds behind the software decided to extend its usefulness for the benefit of other companies in the country.
"We still have difficulty believing that Less is already a reality," Nilson Nascimento a software engineer who co-worked on the software was quoted by Expressodasilhas.
Less has emerged as one of four other coding infrastructures that perform similar functions. The four others, Encore, Ampt, Yepcode and Nitric were all created by multinational companies from the United States and Europe.
The innovation hopes to break through on the African market with its target being small and medium-sized enterprises which make up the majority of the country’s business scale.
Beyond this, the brains behind the innovation are optimistic about revolutionising the global software space with this innovation.
The technology will be presented at Web Summit Lisboa 2023, one of the most important conferences in Europe in the areas of innovation and entrepreneurship, which takes place from the 13th to the 16th of November.
