Innovative start-ups
Access to financing remains a major obstacle for African start-ups. Often created in response to unmet needs and demand in local markets, they generate jobs, create value and have a wide range of impacts. They are thus a new and powerful development tool for Africa. The question of their financing is therefore crucial.
