Hi SM

Let's agree to disagree here ;)

It is true that you have only few startups in Mauritius, but we already
have success stories "made in Mauritius"

There are also some startups in Mauritius! here are some projects we
covered on our website :

http://ict.io/la-fievre-des-startups/
http://ict.io/5-startups-la-sauce-mauricienne/
http://ict.io/ces-mauriciens-qui-font-des-apps-mobiles/

With the ecosystem structuring itself with incubators, private companies /
Capital investors promoting entrepreneurs and a real political ambition to
create an thriving environnement for startups it will not be surprising to
see things changing in 2016.
