Description

Africa in the past decade has risen in profile as a seriously viable investment destination, the leading one by some estimates. Population: 1.1 billion50 plus countriesDemographics: Over 55% under 35 years oldHigh demand for products and services such as: technology, financial services, healthcare, agriculture, environmentally sustainable businesses, energy, commodities and so many others.   The Start up Ecosystem. Founders, Funding, Investments and Regulations et al are all in the growth phase. The opportunities to make money as investors, founders and other stakeholders is astounding as billions of dollars are pouring in. These opportunities should however be looked at alongside relevant considerations. Those considerations, opportunities and ecosystems are what this course strives to highlight. This course will highlight aspects of investments that don't seem to be under consideration when looking at all the high profile news, information relating to playing a part in this emerging market. It is a promising market, with huge rewards in tow. The rewards are being curated by a huge litany of Founders, Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses growing into organisations serving thousands, tens of thousands and even millions. Africa has over 1 billion citizens. Most lack some basic infrastructure or access to those, where they exist. These businesses help bridge that gap in some cases or are making efforts to match the needs with the supply. Much needed services in certain sectors include:- Healthcare- Financial Services- Environmentally sustainable systems- Education - Agriculture- Real Estate- Retail- Logistic- Female led businesses and much moreThese are just a snippet of great opportunities on the continent.
