This could be one of the most exciting economic developments over the next few generations. We know there are pockets of huge economic success across the African continent, though most often the news and images we see are those of poverty, illness or government corruption.

• Financial Technology (Fintech)
• Agribusiness
• Renewable energy
• Ecommerce
• Health Tech
