3 Our convictions for Africa The social and economic potential of Africa is huge, yet largely untapped: unique opportunities exist for the entrepreneurs ready to take up the challenge The continent is moving it s high time to start thinking big: «the sky is the limit» - Designing integrated greenfield projects (e.g. rail, logistics and agriculture) - Strengthening the value chain (production, processing, distribution, etc.) - Participating in world trade and developing national and regional markets - Building long-term and committed partnerships with governments Investors need to focus on the triple bottom line (financial, social, and environmental) to be successful in the long run Adaptation to local context is critical: international best practices must be adapted to Africa (thinking mode and implementation scheme) Execution remains a challenge: strategy must be robust and implementation must be carefully planned (success = 20% strategy + 80% execution) 3
