INVEST IN AFRICA SUMMIT 2023

The Hague Marriott Hotel, Netherlands

DR. DEANNE DEVRIES

Speaker | Author | Africa Advocate

I build thriving businesses that capitalize on the African growth story.

I accelerate ventures in, into and across Africa, uncovering and capturing new sources of dynamic growth for my clients and providing insightful intelligence to chart their course along new avenues.

 

Despite Africa’s many promising trends, significant challenges persist across the African continent. And you can’t Google your answers here!

I pull and share from my 30+ years of experience working and living across what I love to call AfriCAN, the can-do continent.

Whether you are a startup, global non-profit, multi-national corporation or a venture capital firm, we’ll address myths and stereotypes about Africa as well as misconceptions about risk, and discuss both the challenges and opportunities this rich part of the world has to offer. 

I focus on the politics and power structures, the cultures, and the people – all of which are just as important to understand as the business environment. 

My ABC framework (Appetite, Bandwidth, Capital) makes following all of this rich advice easy to digest.

DM me and let’s talk about how you can join the African growth story.

In the meantime, maybe one of my books would be of interest to you:

– “Africa: Open for Business” shows you why now is the time to take your business to Africa. It’s as simple as ABC.

– In “Africa: Reframing Political Leadership” I give you a front row seat to political leadership in Africa through my face-to-face interviews with those who are and were Heads of State across multiple countries in Africa. It doesn’t disappoint!
