In the special edition launch episode, we interview group publisher and editor-in-chief of African Business Magazine, Omar Ben Yedder, on his vision for this essential listen on the business and economics of the African continent today.
In keeping with the unprecedented interest in investing and capital raising across markets and sectors on the continent, we have as our first guest, Michelle Essomé, the CEO of the African Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (AVCA) set the scene of this exciting phase in African business against the backdrop of AVCA’s recently launched 2019, half year data track with all the facts and figures on the deal flow on the continent today.
We also find out what makes our well-travelled and knowledgable guests tick as they share with us the key recent Africa-focused events and stories on the international agenda and news headlines. We will be telling the story of the African opportunity in accessible and fun format here twice monthly and hope you enjoy the show!
