Africa is a continent full of opportunities - but sustainable development requires targeted measures. Africa Swiss focuses on four key areas that combine economic growth with social and environmental responsibility. These focus areas have been strategically chosen to provide targeted support to companies, investors, professionals and travelers.
Africa is in a phase of profound economic and technological transformation. The figures speak for themselves: whether renewable energies, growing investments or digital progress - development is in full swing. These facts provide a clear insight into the opportunities that are arising for companies, investors and skilled workers.
Africa has enormous economic and ecological potential that has so far only been partially exploited. Investments, knowledge transfer and targeted partnerships can help to drive sustainable development. The following figures illustrate why now is the right time to get involved.
Africa has the best conditions for renewable energies. 60% of the world's solar potential is located on the continent, but so far only 3% of global solar capacity has been installed there. The demand for sustainable energy is growing steadily, as many regions are still not connected to a stable power grid. Investments in green technologies are increasing rapidly as more and more countries are turning to renewable energies in the long term to make their energy supply more independent and sustainable.
Swiss direct investment in Africa has risen by 70% in the last ten years - a clear sign of the growing economic interest in the region. Many African countries are facilitating market access for foreign companies by reducing bureaucratic hurdles and promoting specific economic sectors. In addition, there are tax advantages that make investments in infrastructure, technology and industry even more attractive.
With a population of 50% under the age of 25, Africa is one of the most dynamic regions in the world. This demographic development opens up enormous opportunities in the education sector, particularly in the areas of digital education and vocational qualifications. Digital education is increasingly becoming a key sector as technological innovations create new opportunities for learning and economic participation. Support programs for young entrepreneurs and mentoring initiatives are helping to develop talent and establish sustainable business models.
