In addition to the beauty, the people, and the landscapes lies another Africa: one of bold businesses, untapped opportunities, and those daring enough to take them.
Opportunities in challenges
All challenges in Africa and the globe present viable business opportunities, when strategically explored, bring with them great fortunes and impact to the people. In recent years, we’ve seen a good number of inventions, innovations, and businesses that have been developed in the African continent, solving both Africa’s and global challenges.
Innovative Solutions Built in Africa
One of such inventions commonly talked about is the Kenyan-born M-Pesa, a mobile money platform in the fintech space that has set the pace globally when it comes to seamless mobile money transactions. By solving the problem of limited access to formal financial services amongst Kenyans and challenges in sending money across Kenya and Africa, M-Pesa remains to be one of the biggest innovations in Africa and the globe serving millions on a daily basis. M-Pesa and many other African ideas continue to solve Africa’s challenges and empower Africa’s socioeconomic development agenda.
