AFRICA INNOVATION
Africa Innovation
With Subject Matter Expert
Matt Sitter
CEO, AFN
Necessity is often cited as the mother of invention, and although we live in an increasingly connected world, needs (and resources) are very different in individual markets. As home to 54 respective countries with varying levels of infrastructure, the continent of Africa has a wide diversity of needs. This diversity has given rise to innovations that would not occur elsewhere in the world.
With the youngest population on the globe and 1.2 billion people, Africa will become an increasingly important set of markets in the coming years with immense opportunities to bring new ideas to the global market.
In this roundtable, we will bring together leaders of organizations in Africa to discuss their approach to innovation and driving opportunity in their home continent.
