About the Event
Organiser: SWISS UMEF UNIVERSITY and 10ème Gingembre de ContinentPremier’
SWISS UMEF UNIVERSITY and the Association ContinentPremier founded by El Hadj Gorgui Wade Ndoye, United Nations journalist, organises a conference on the topic ‘What leadership for the industrialisation of Africa?’
Objective
Economists agree that industrialisation is a mandatory step for development. Africa has been a laggard in industrialisation, with the limited number of industries owned essentially by foreign capital. So far Africa has been mostly a supplier of commodities for industries and importing finished products from the developed economies. It is important to understand the cause of this situation and one of them appears to be the role of the national leaders and the business model most suitable to the business environment.
