Bonn; Eschborn: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) (2018), 48 pp.
"Innovative Entrepreneurship is one of the key drivers behind Africa’s digital transformation. For many young people, entrepreneurship is often the best way to achieve sustainable livelihoods. Innovative entrepreneurs know their local markets and understand the social context. This gives them a competitive advantage that helps them develop “Digital Innovation Made in Africa” and to assert themselves on the market globally. This book presents a selection of these innovations. They represent numerous new developments that convey a completely new image of Africa: dynamic, modern, innovative, technical, and at the same time human – because behind every digital innovation there is a team of founders who are keen to combine socially responsible entrepreneurship with digital modernization."
