Africa is the new Silicon Valley !

3 comments

I saw a lot of articles and media talking about how much Africa has become the best place to invest. The african market needs more innovation and technology and most of successful stories around the world came from there because they really see the necessity of the impact in their home country. Too much problems to solve through technology, a lot of small business appeared and a lot of events talking about leadership, innovation , business and entrepreneurship. But the truth is that sometimes we don't see that deep, we should know that people who has the brillant ideas ares suffering the most from a corrupted and a classic system .The tunisian ecosystem is not like the other, you don't only fight the tradition and the mentality that doesn't accept creativity and doesn't undesrtand new technologies but also the creation process is so complicated that you may give up on your business in the middle of work. You can't even register your idea or your brand correctly. It is true the market exists and the problems too but young entrepreneurs who think big are sometimes thinking that the only solution to make their business prosper is to start from the outside, because if they come back more powerful with a known business in Europe or US , people may listen here.

What do you view as the main problems behind why entrepreneurship can't grow in Africa and in Tunisia?

Dear Rachna , I think it is all a about a system and infrastructure, it is true that all entrepreneurs around the world have their own struggles but what distinguish a country from another is how much government and society try to boost and motivate their youth to improve the country and succeed. In fact, this coud be through administration facilities, funding possibilities , believing in creative new ideas and even mediatize for them. But to be honest we are still optimist because change exists even if it comes so slowly.

Optimism is always key in life! Do you believe that there is a country in the world that motivates their youth to that extent?

    G-7 Condemnation

    Group of Seven finance chiefs criticized the U.S., claiming its trade actions could devastate global economic confidence and threaten the effectiveness of the Western alliance. Do you agree? Will these tariff actions ultimately have such effects?

    What do you think about affect of automation workforce?

    Especially, Japanese companies are facing a workforce automation problem. It’s not the kind you normally hear about, though — workers aren’t afraid they’ll lose their jobs to machines. Instead, the companies need to engineer robots to replace the droves of Japanese workers approaching retirement age. Right now, over a quarter of the Japanese population is over the age of 65, and that number is expected to jump to 40 percent over the next 40 years. That’s bad news for industries that will need to replace those retiring workers, especially for industries like construction for which automation hasn’t caught on as quickly.

    24% earnings growth

    Another week of stellar earnings reports has gone by without any payoff in stocks. Even Friday’s rally, the biggest in almost a month, couldn’t turn the tide. Why do you guys think people aren't responding well to earnings growth? I personally don't trade on earnings. I usually rely on others to.
