Kubadili hali hii, Samiri, mwandishi wa blogu ya Startup BRICS ilijikita kwenye miradi mipya katika nchi zinazoendelea, aliandaa safari za kiuchunguzi zilizoitwa Mradi wa TechAfrique ili kugundua na kuorodhesha miradi iliyopo na ile mipa, miradi ya Fablabs, na kwenye maeneo mengine yanayofanana na hayo katika ubunifu wa kiteknolojia katika nchi zizungumzao Kifaransa pamoja na Kenya.
