$JMIA Here are some interesting statements about Africa from German futurologist Dr. Christof Niederwieser, taken from his 2025 Future Dossier:
Africa: from 2025 onwards, increasingly a new boom region and growth engine
for the global economy. So far, only China has made substantial investments. This is increasingly viewed critically in Africa. In the future, Africa will network much more broadly in the global economy and attempt to take control of the value added from its own resources
▪ Due to its enormous size and urban sprawl, Africa has never been able to benefit from the hierarchical, centralised technologies of the old era . To this day, there is no comprehensive road, rail,
electricity, or telephone network. This is now becoming a competitive advantage. Because
with the decentralized, self-sufficient future technologies of the air era
(solar, satellite, drones, etc.), a modern infrastructure can be built very
cost-effectively on greenfield sites.
