How Asian Businesses Can Grow on the African Continent
In a recent virtual panel discussion hosted by the INSEAD Africa Club, in collaboration with
#Connect Africa and the Africa Initiative, a panel of industry experts gathered to provide insights into the multifaceted opportunities and challenges within the fast-growing African market for Asian businesses.
We asked:
1. How can Asian businesses grow on the African continent.
2. Can Africa shift from a net importer of commodities to ensuring sufficient supplies for its population – maybe an exporter?
I started by providing background on the rapidly changing Demographics in Africa and the opportunities & challenges it raises.
The panel was moderated by Claudia Zeisberger, Professor at INSEAD, and featured the following Panelists:
– Dominique Lecossois, distinguished fellow of the INSEAD Africa Initiative and retail &
strategy expert;
– Manyika Kangai, China-Africa trade expert;
– Devashish Chaubey, Global Head of Rice at Olam;
– Joshua Yau, CEO at FairMoney; and
– Paulo Gomes, investment advisor and member of the Africa South East Asia Chamber of Commerce advisory board.
