Africa’s people are its greatest resource. For too long, extraction has supplanted empowerment. No more. As goes Africa, so goes the world. A truly empowered Africa will be enabled by Africans and in turn contribute to the world. Heading for over 1.5 billion people, Africa will serve as the driving force of the world’s dynamism, with its young population in an ageing world. Entrepreneurs are the central force for economic growth and youthfully abound in Africa: 10 million companies by 2030. The entrepreneurial dynamism of Africa exists in a social setting that serves the common good of family and community. Arising out of a global era of divisive ideology with the extreme ends of economic individualism and political collectivisms, Africa will lead the world with sound ideas and global economic growth.

AFRICA IS THE FUTURE

• Africa: a new global chapter is being written into reality by Africans, for all humanity.
• Africa is where tradition, culture and community are the driving force – progress connects indigenous knowledge systems, producing optimal technology in community-driven development.

• Cultural plenitude (culture in abundance) can only make a people more capable to contribute to the general progress of humanity and to get closer to the other peoples knowingly.’ Cheikh Ant Diop, Senegalese physicist.
• Africa’s needs, demands, visions, ideas, and its entrepreneurial spirit have been ever-present for millennia. Now the giant is awakening, overturning centuries exclusion and exploitation – united into the world’s biggest free trade area!

• The vitality and creativity of Africa’s youth are among the world’s greatest treasures – the creative engine for abundance in an ageing world.

• Entrepreneurial traits are mainstream in Africa – free from the welfare mindset and its false security.
• Africa – the only continent where at least 60% of the population still live in rural areas – will support thriving villages everywhere, transforming the pretence of ‘progress’ hitherto prescribed by top-down planners.

• Strong population growth: a current median age under 20 years old.

• “Consider where some parts of Asia were in 90s; Africa’s growth and potential are far
beyond it.” – Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba.

• Africa is building natural economies in harmony with life-affirming principles.
• Today there are 20 million firms in the U.S. and 50 million in China. We believe the number of companies in Africa will grow and exceed China within a decade – with more urbanized young people in African than in India and China combined by 2045.

• $5.6 trillion in African business opportunities by 2025, rapidly rising to overtake the ‘Chinese growth story’ with $30 trillion GDP in Africa by 2050.
• Grounded in values and culture, these drivers will transform wealth into prosperity for citizens and build models of resilient and healthy com munities. As goes Africa, so goes the world.
