Zusammenfassung
Unternehmertum spielt sowohl für die Entwicklung afrikanischer Länder eine Rolle, als auch für ausländische Unternehmen mit Markteintrittsplänen. Die infrastrukturellen und institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen für Unternehmertum sind nach wie vor schwierig, wobei aber die fortschreitende Digitalisierung zu einer zunehmend aktiven Start-Up Szene in vielen afrikanischen Ländern führt. Nach wie vor existiert ein Mismatch zwischen den Bereichen in denen Start-Ups entstehen und den Bereichen, wo ausländische Unternehmen Partner für den Markteintritt suchen. Somit bleibt es trotz positiver Entwicklung beim Unternehmertum in absehbarer Zeit schwierig adäquate Partner zu finden.
Entrepreneurship is an essential driver of societal health and wealth, and a formidable engine of economic growth.
