Moroccans, Nigerians and Kenyans dominate the 2015 “Choiseul 100 Africa-Tomorrow’s Economic Leaders” ranking by the Choiseul Institute, a Paris-based think-tank. This ranking published each year “identifies, identifies and classifies young African leaders aged 40 and under, called to play a major role in the economic development of the continent in the near future”.

The fruit of work carried out over several months, the Choiseul Institute called on numerous experts and specialists from the continent to carry out this ambitious and unique study which draws up an inventory of the driving forces of the African economy.

In order to classify the profiles selected, several weighted criteria were taken into account such as image and reputation, background and skills, power and function, influence and networks, potential and leadership. The sum of the points obtained in the various categories of criteria mentioned above determines the place of each of the winners in the final ranking. Profiles with less than 10% in one of the categories are eliminated.

As the study ended on June 30, 2015, professional developments after this date were not taken into account.

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
