- Africa needs
a digitalization strategy to compete in the global economy
African
countries must act quickly and decisively to become leaders on the global
economic stage. Digitalization is providing the continent with the opportunity
to accelerate growth and rapidly expand struggling economies – but it’s a small
window and decision-makers must get a strategy in place now in order to
succeed.
Innovation plays a
crucial role in the private sector in terms of competitiveness and it is also
gaining importance in the public sector for the simple reason that decision
makers are wanting to improve the performance of the economy amplifying
economic development. Partnerships between government, business and civil
society are not new, but increasing in frequency in order to meet South
Africa’s societal needs.
