Forbes Africa - August - September 2023

この号では

The Aug/Sept 2023 edition of FORBES AFRICA is a blockbuster issue with a Hollywood icon on the cover! Idris Elba gives us an exclusive interview about investing in the continent’s movie industry, and about his work as an entrepreneur – building a smart city in Sierra Leone – and as a humanitarian tackling the climate crisis and lending a helping hand to farmers in Africa. More on averting the climate chaos – our next explorative story is on Africa's secret weapon in the global energy race: green hydrogen. There are more in-vogue topics such as an analysis of AI and Africa’s AI-based innovations. We also cover the world of venture capital and startups with a profile on Launch Africa, a leading early-stage pan-African venture capital fund that has invested in 133 startups in 22 African countries closing over $36 million in its first round. Africa’s prospects in the creative sectors such as art, fashion, crafts and architecture, among others, are well-documented: but what about venture capital in entertainment? From the world of health, we cover the business of pain management, from the painkiller industry to novel alternative therapies. Our spiffy profiles include food entrepreneurs from Tanzania and fashion entrepreneurs from Nigeria to Ghana and Kenya. We also honor the 67th anniversary of South Africa’s trailblazing Women’s March with a spread on female survivors and thrivers in the business world. From the world of automotive tech, we chart the electric vehicle industry in South Africa moving ahead as top brands plan roll-out. All this and more in the Aug/Sept 2023 edition of FORBES AFRICA, in stores now!
