Africa is a home to nearly 1 billion people on the planet, it comprises of many fast developing economies from Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Lone Kenya, Angola, Zimbabwe ,South Africa, Madagascar , Egypt , Morocco etc. With an increasing population strength and growing indigenous economic landscape, Africa is tipped with Asia to be one of the largest economies of the world.

Are you an investor or entrepreneur looking to invest or start a business in any of the African countries? Do you want to know the best investment opportunities or small business opportunities in Africa? Here is why:

The conversation about Africa is moving from one of “deficits” and “gaps” to one about opportunities, prospects, ventures and creativity. That’s not news to companies that have paid close attention to the continent and invested there. The fast growing youth population, the urbanization expected to drive over 50% of Africans to cities by 2050, and Africa’s formalizing economy are all clear indications. These trends and other developments have driven a half century or more of growth in Africa, and will continue to do so.

It’s important to note that Africa tests an investor’s patience. The economic climate, time horizons, return models that work suitably in other economic climes may not fit in well in Adfrica . Even the most experienced, sophisticated companies can be forced to recalibrate, as Nestlé did last year when it announced a 15% cut in its workforce across 21 African countries.

Deficits remain. What’s important is that investors now realize there is money to be made for those bold enough to help close the gaps. As that takes place, the promise of greater prosperity for Africans and African businesses will be realized. Why is Africa a choice destination for investors?
