THE CONFERENCE

Africa is the continent which owns, more than any other, the potential to realize sustainable economic growth. This potential is still mostly undeveloped , and the use of new technologies, advanced productive processes and international trade partnerships will allow a steady development along new business routes.

  • The African continent is blooming. The continent offers more investment opportunities than any other continent.
  • The drastic increase in the number of middle class families and acres of unused fertile land has been attracting investors from around the world.
  • Currently, six of the world’s 10 fastest growing economies are in Africa.
  • The ease of doing business in Africa is improving to the extent that a good number of countries (including South Africa, Ghana, Mauritius and Tunisia) now outperform China, India, Brazil and Russia.
