Investment Readiness: “This pandemic requires an economic response that is equal to the scale of the disruption it is causing” – South African President and AU Chair; the honorable Cyril Ramaphosa.

In heeding the above #calltoaction, HD AFRIKA is hosting a group of young dynamic #globalentrepreneurs and #leaders for an impactful session with #innovators, #startups, and #scaleups. We are building solution-driven innovations designed to pick up and grow the African #economy post the pandemic.
