Agriculture, which receives nearly 65% ​​of the vote, is the second choice of investors, benefiting from a real resourcing of interest, unlike the 2016 study (7%). Although several challenges remain, the transition of the agricultural model on family farms which provide 60% of jobs in Africa, the environment of climatic uncertainties and food security, constituting real opportunities for investors.

Then, financial services and Mass Distribution, which have experienced strong growth in recent years, come in 3rd and 4th position. These two sectors are organized by the growth of a middle class of consumers willing to consume more. 59% of stakeholders believe the financial services sector is Africa’s future. New innovative technologies aimed at facilitating fund transfers (transfers and reception) will drive the growth of African economies.

CEO AfrikaTech

Comme beaucoup de personnes j’ai connu l’Afrique à travers des stéréotypes : l’Afrique est pauvre, il y a la guerre, famine… Je suis devenu entrepreneur pour briser ces clichés et participer à la construction du continent. J’ai lancé plusieurs entreprises dont Kareea (Formation et développement web), Tutorys (Plate-forme de e-learning), AfrikanFunding (Plate-forme de crowdfunding). Après un échec sur ma startup Tutorys, à cause d’une mauvaise exécution Business, un manque de réseau, pas de mentor, je suis parti 6 mois en immersion dans l’écosystème Tech au Sénégal. J’ai rencontré de nombreux entrepreneurs passionnés, talentueux et déterminés. A mon retour sur Paris je décide de raconter leur histoire en créant le média AfrikaTech. L'objectif est de soutenir les entrepreneurs qui se battent quotidiennement en Afrique en leur offrant la visibilité, les connaissances, le réseautage et les capitaux nécessaires pour réussir. L'Afrique de demain se construit aujourd'hui ensemble. Rejoignez-nous ! LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boubacardiallo
