Africa is home to many of the world’s biggest opportunities with a tremendous economic potential estimated at $50 Trillion by 2030. The continent has the largest concentration of youth population around the world, who make up a staggering three quarters of its entire population.
It is on target to account for more than half (approx. 54%) of the global population growth in
coming decades and be home to 1.7 billion people, whose combined consumer and business spending will total $6.7 trillion.
Since 2000, at least half of the world’s fastest-growing emerging market economies have been in Africa. Rising household consumption is predicted to reach $2.5 trillion by 2030 on the backdrop of this changing demographics and improving business environments across the continent boosted by regional integration, particularly intraregional trade and investments.
Combine the continent’s soaring population with technology, improvements in infrastructure,
agriculture, health and education, Africa could be the next century’s economic growth powerhouse. We see a tremendous opportunity in leveraging our technologies (Blockchain, IoT,
Artificial Intelligence) together with strategic partnerships to take advantage of this Fourth
Industrial Revolution (4IR).
Why we are starting in Africa
There is virtually no aspect of African social, economic and political life that is not in one way influenced by this first principle of value sharing as a form of economy.
The continent’s historical account refers to a time when a robust reciprocal exchange economy sustained the society through culturally enforced agreements to give goods, services, information, or money in exchange for future compensation in-kind.
We believe this spirit is native to Africa and her peoples.
Our will is resilient, and we now have the tools and talent to build a better value system for ourselves.
This is the spirit of BANTU.
