Creating Shared Value
The Shared Value business management concept is an effective strategy to connect African economic growth and sustainable development. Technology is an enabler of business innovation, and has the power to address many of the continent’s systemic challenges. Combined they can create a future where business, people and planet flourish.
Climate Justice
Technology plays a critical role in our ability to retain, reduce or transfer climate risk and address the impact of climate change. However, vulnerable communities do not fully benefit from these advances, as they are disproportionally impacted by climate change and lack of access to energy and connectivity. Can technology address climate risks for the most vulnerable in a just way?
Digital Inclusion
Digital inclusion is a catalyst for economic empowerment that requires digital innovation combined with practical, policy-driven action to address the needs of individuals and communities. How can business accelerate inclusion in Africa, particularly for disproportionately affected groups such as rural populations and women?
Fuelling Africa’s Growth Through Digital Infrastructure
Gaps in internet access are a roadblock to Africa’s economic growth. Poor or zero connectivity limits trade and interaction with the world and leads to inaccurate, biased data collection. Can we create digital ecosystems that advance access to universal, affordable, accessible and safe high-speed connectivity across the continent?
Unpacking the 4IR & Technology Gaps
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) represents a new era of innovation in technology that is enhancing human-machine relationships, unlocking new market opportunities, and fuelling growth across the global economy. Can 4IR technologies be used to stimulate new ways of doing business that drive economic growth, job creation and empowerment of the marginalised?
Digital Transformation to Accelerate AfCFTA
To become tomorrow’s innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders, Africa’s youth need to be empowered with the digital skills and access to technology and markets that are essential to thrive in an increasingly digitized global economy. Improving Africa’s connectivity is an essential trade enabler to ensure the success of the AfCFTA and Africa’s growth.
