Welcome to Doing Business Africa
Let's cause a ripple together...
The world is changing at a pace that has never been seen before. Eric Allison, the founder of the revolutionary Uber taxi service stated:
​
"World trade means competition from anywhere; advancing technology encourages cross-industry competition. Consequently, strategic planning must consider who our future competitors will be, not only who is here today."
Africa receives less than 7% of global FDI.
Nigeria ranks amongst the lowest countries on the Human Development Index and Global Competitiveness Index. Africa also contributes less than 1% to the global creative economy. The USA’s creative economy accounts for about 14% of employment, about 10% of GDP, and over $700 billion in revenue as of 2017.
​
Our vision at Africulture GBC is to promote global competitiveness by giving business owners and professionals the tools to project themselves at their personal and professional best.
Promoting excellence is our passion. Positioning and branding your dream life, career or business is our job.
"Our vision for sub-Saharan Africa is to promote global competitiveness and add tremendous value to the Human Development Index through the institution of experiential learning and development; a productivity culture; and technology literacy by 2025."
