§ Stable and democratic In 2011, for the first time in history, a majority of African nations were governed by democratically elected leaders.

§ A fertile ground for technology leapfrog, resource

optimization and a digital revolution Mobile penetration has jumped from less than 2 percent in 2000 to more 80 percent in 2014. In the next 3 years, most African will possess a smartphone.

§ A fast rising African consumer

By 2017, there will likely be 257 million consumers with discretionary income. By 2020, African consumers will spend USD1.4 Trillion p.a. exceeding revenues generated from Agriculture and Natural Resource combined and up to 7 times larger than those of Infrastructure.

§ By 2040, Africa will have a larger working-age population than China or India.

Talent, market knowledge, and risk are bottlenecks. More so than in most other emerging markets, talent and market knowledge are in short supply in Africa. Consequently, companies must invest aggressively in people, market intelligence, and risk management.
