outline

3. Africa: land of
opportunities

4. Africa, land of opportunities
The youngest continent in the world
With all the mineral resources
Huge agricultural potential
All is still to be done

5. Africa, a land of paradox
We have:
Resources, but no industry
Universities, but no innovation
 Land, but no modern agriculture
Unemployment, poverty
 WE NEED ENTREPRENEURS!

6. Why don’t we have entrepreneurs?
Because:
Knowledge in technology is poor
Culture of industry is short
No culture of service
No global view on chain value
No global view on global demand

7. Illustrations
We have oranges all over
So what? What is the industrial importance of oranges?
What can we do with oranges in terms of industrial
products?
Who needs oranges? Why do they need oranges?
What should we do to create an orange juice industry?

8. These questions are fundamental
To answer them, we need a tool
A tool to inform on:
The products and its global economic value
Industrial transformations
Global geography of the product
Global geography of the demand
Is this a business opportunity or not?

9. To create massively entrepreneurs
We need people who understand:
The products
The industrial value of the product
The global geography of the product
The global geography of the demand
The global financial importance of the product
AND FIND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
