PROBLEM:
Despite Africa reaches 1.4 billion people, same as China & booming manufacturing sector; African markets remain fragmented & inefficient, hence unable to boost internal commerce due to countries’ low level of connectivity.


OPPORTUNITY:
“Africa is considered to be the world’s next great manufacturing powerhouse” ~Irene Yuan Sun, author of The Next Factory of the World

Business-to-business spending in manufacturing in Africa is projected to reach $666.3 billion by 2030.
The African Union has put the manufacturing sector front and center in its Agenda 2063.
