Africa\u2019s Business Revolution
\n<\/strong>Date & Time:<\/strong> Wednesday 5 December, 18:30 \u2013 20:00, followed by a reception
\nVenue:<\/strong> Brunei Gallery Lecture Theatre, SOAS<\/p>\n

With a population of 1.2 billion that is projected to double in the next three decades, Africa presents investors with vast opportunities. By 2025, spending by African consumers and businesses will exceed $5 trillion, and by 2035, Africa will have the world\u2019s largest urban population and a workforce bigger than that of China or India. There is no doubt that huge potential exists, but how do companies seize these opportunities for building and expanding profitable businesses?<\/p>\n

With in-depth case studies and exclusive interviews with some of Africa’s most prominent executives, Africa\u2019s Business Revolution offers a wealth of stories of those who have built successful businesses on the continent. Authors Acha Leke, Musta Chironga and Georges Desvaux draw on in-depth proprietary research by the McKinsey Global Institute as well as McKinsey\u2019s extensive experience advising corporate and government leaders across Africa. Join us for a book launch and a discussion on the topic with a distinguished panel of guest speakers, hosted by the Royal African Society.<\/p>\n

Speakers:<\/p>\n

Geetha Tharmaratnam<\/strong>, Partner \u2013 Africa & Head of Impact, LGT Impact<\/p>\n

Hakeem Belo-Osagie<\/strong>, Chairman, Metis Capital Partners<\/p>\n

Daudi Lelijveld<\/strong>, Fund Manager of CDC’s Impact Fund<\/p>\n

and others to be announced.
