Connecting the Dots in the African Business Ecosystem




Afribiz: Business & Investment in Africa show

Summary: 2010 is bringing a change in the business landscape in Africa. The macroeconomic stability maintained by most African countries during the global economic crisis signaled a new dawn of progress in Africa to say nothing of the economic growth rate during the first decade of this century. More eyes are turning to the possibilities in Africa, but ecosystems to support the growth in business and investment still remain fragmented. This show highlights the work of organizations like the Canadian Council of Africa to connect the dots in critical areas like finance and investment. We are joined by Lucien Bradet, President of CCAfrica, and Lisa Lambie, a CCAfrica Board Member and Managing Director of Cordiant Capital, for this discussion.
