Africa: land of opportunities

Africa, land of opportunities

The youngest continent in the world

With all the mineral resources

Huge agricultural potential

All is still to be done

We have:Resources, but no industryUniversities, but no innovationLand, but no modern agricultureUnemployment, poverty

WE NEED ENTREPRENEURS!

Africa, a land of paradox

Why don’t we have entrepreneurs?

Because:Knowledge in technology is poorCulture of industry is shortNo culture of serviceNo global view on chain valueNo global view on global demand
