From Potential To Prosperity.
Africa's story is often told through its potential. Its natural resources, young population, emerging markets and entrepreneurial energy all point toward enormous opportunity. But potential alone does not create prosperity.
Scaling Africa examines what it will take to move beyond potential — toward productive economies, stronger businesses, technological transformation and sustainable prosperity.
"Potential is not the destination. Prosperity is."
