Africa presents a compelling investment opportunity driven by its rapid economic growth, youthful population, and increasing urbanization. Home to six of the world’s fastest-growing economies, the continent’s median age of just 19 years creates a dynamic workforce primed for innovation and entrepreneurship. With its urban population projected to double by 2050 and a burgeoning middle class expected to exceed 500 million by 2030, Africa’s expanding consumer base is driving demand across various sectors, including retail, technology, and services. These factors collectively position Africa as a high-growth frontier with vast opportunities in infrastructure, energy, and technology

Africa is often described as the most entrepreneurial continent in the world. Yet, few ventures contribute meaningfully to productive entrepreneurship. While multiple factors underlie this reality, a key limitation has been the absence of a framework to systematically assess the conditions that enable productive entrepreneurship across the continent. The Africa Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Index (AEEI) addresses this gap through scientifically rigorous and societally relevant analytics. Structured around seven core challenge areas — finance, market access, governance, support, culture, infrastructure, and human capital — the AEEI provides essential context to Africa’s entrepreneurial landscape. This toolkit is designed for forward-thinking policy innovators committed to transforming their ecosystems. It equips them to drive policy reform through deliberative processes and cutting-edge evidence, with a focus on the tools and mechanisms needed to support the growth of startups and SMEs across Africa.
