By the end of this century, the UN projects that Africa will account for more than 40% of the world’s population. And, as of today, nearly 60% of the continent’s population is under 25. With this growth come major shifts in how Africans live, work and do business.
The B Team Africa Network is a collective of Africa-based business leaders who use their voice and influence to navigate this transition today for a better tomorrow for the entirety of the continent.
