With a focus on venture capital, this panel aims to explore what risk assessment looks like in this new economic context. How do investors balance the high-risk, high-reward nature of startup investments in Africa?
This session will explore the untapped potential of emerging markets across Africa that are on the brink of significant growth but have yet to attract substantial investment. The discussion will focus on identifying these high-potential markets, understanding the challenges and opportunities they present, and strategizing on how to channel investments effectively to catalyze economic development. Panelists will share insights on the factors driving growth in these regions, the role of innovation and infrastructure, and the impact of increased investment on local economies. The session aims to provide investors and policymakers with a roadmap for unlocking value in these markets.
The keynote will explore the historical context of global economic development and its relevance to Africa's current economic landscape. By drawing parallels between Africa's present state and the historical economic conditions of now-developed nations/regions, the keynote aims to provide a deeper understanding of Africa's potential for growth and transformation.
