Opis

Benin, a dynamic West African nation, transitioned in 2020 from a low-income to a lower-middle-income country, reflecting its economic progress and resilience. With a bold ambition to become the region's leading digital hub, the government has committed over 360 billion CFA francs (USD 600 million) to revolutionize digital infrastructure, enhance connectivity, and modernize public and private services.This book answers a pressing question for global investors: Why should Benin now feature in their investment theses? It offers a comprehensive analysis of the country's digital transformation journey, emerging startup ecosystem and the strategic steps needed to address financing gaps, especially for the "missing middle" enterprises. Drawing insights from regional success stories like Morocco, Tunisia, Rwanda, and Senegal, it provides actionable pathways for investors to tap into one of Africa's most promising markets.Whether you're an investor or a policymaker, this is a must-read for understanding how Benin is positioning itself as a vibrant hub for tech and innovation.
