Excellent to have MIT Sloan MBA student
Emmanuel Magani
join me on
MaximizingProgress.tv! We talked mostly about the first-ever MIT African business conference --
Africa 2.0: Achieving Growth Through Innovation
-- happening this
Friday, April 1st, 2011 at the
MIT Media Lab. Organized by
Emmanuel and his colleagues from the
MIT Sloan Africa Business Club (ABC), the Conference features
great speakers on panels ranging from
Mobiles, Energy, Finance, Entrepreneurship, and
Technology thru
Media. I'm especially excited to hear the venture pitches from the five top
Africa Innovate! business plan competition finalists happening as part of the Conference. Emmanuel and I also talked about why the billion-strong Africans represent a trillion US dollar opportunity, the growth of the MIT ABC club events and activities, and why the time is
now for business leaders to have an
Africa Strategy much like they have India or China Strategies. If you're interested in these opportunities,
see you this Friday at the Conference!
