Unlocking Growth: Strategic Insights in Action

Leveraging Structural Advantages for Competitiveness

Across Africa, strategic investment decisions have led to significant economic transformation. For example:

• Advancing digital ecosystems – Countries investing in digital infrastructure and skills development are attracting global investors and technology firms, positioning themselves as emerging innovation hubs.
• Harnessing regional trade – The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is reducing trade barriers and fostering collaboration, scaling industries across the continent.
• Maximising natural resource potential – Major energy discoveries in Africa are unlocking new industrial and economic possibilities, provided there is strong infrastructure investment and regulatory clarity.
• Tourism as an economic driver – Strategic investment in infrastructure, branding, and sustainability has enabled several African nations to position tourism as a key pillar of economic diversification and job creation.

These examples reinforce a fundamental principle: competitiveness is not a matter of chance—it’s a matter of choice.
