Africa: The Next Horizon for Business Opportunity


While Europe and the U.S. struggle with economic challenges, growth -- albeit at a slower pace -- continues on in emerging markets. Nowhere is this more evident than in Africa, whose nations are starting to coalesce into a massive market of more than 900 million consumers.

In this special report, Knowledge@Wharton features lessons from the rise of Rwanda; the ongoing battle over natural resources; the challenges of developing modern infrastructure, and the role of private equity in driving growth, among other themes. In addition, the report includes interviews with Eric Kacou, author of Entrepreneurial Solutions for Prosperity in BoP Markets, and Liban Soleman, chief of staff for the President of Gabon.
