Key Factors for
Consideration When Expanding Business into Africa
The time has come for the rest of the world to take note of the
tremendous growth opportunities Africa has to offer. Frost & Sullivan will
be hosting a complimentary web conference highlighting the key
factors for consideration when expanding business into Africa. The web conference will take place on
28 March 2012, at
15:00.
"Much has changed since The Economist labeled Africa as 'The Hopeless Continent' ten years
ago. Africa's growth is not
fuelled purely by resources anymore. For a number of key countries,
diversified economies drive up to 75% of real GDP expansion,
creating a multitude of opportunities across industries from
Agriculture to Manufacturing to Real-Estate," observes Frost &
Sullivan's Operational Director for Africa, Hendrik
Malan.
Despite global economic conditions, Africa's growth is escalating and drawing
attention from even the toughest Afro-critics. A key question
surrounds the sustainability of this growth. If predictions are
positive, what needs to be taken into consideration when developing
an approach to leverage these newly emphasized opportunities?
Frost & Sullivan's complimentary webinar will assess the
longer term growth trends and indicators for Africa, highlight some of the greatest
challenges to expansion, and identify principles of successful and
sustainable growth on the continent.
The webinar will provide interesting information for
organisations that are considering expanding their geographical
presence or changing their business model/market approach to
Africa, in order to take better
advantage of identified opportunities.Companies, across various
industries, interested in entering the African continent for the
first time, will benefit from this discussion.

the analyst briefing and a copy of the presentation slides. For the
