While Africa has tremendous business opportunities, it also has significant socio-economic challenges. For many business people, this can be a turn-off, but more and more; this is proving to be an opportunity and competitive advantage.
For any investor seeking to do business in Africa, one needs to get to know Africa. One needs to find order within the chaos and see the opportunities within. One of the major challenges for all nations, developed or developing, is addressing the lack of economic opportunity for the broader population, particularly the youth. While economic prosperity will not solve all the continent's problems, it does create a foundation for stability and progress.
There is no question that the health care, scientific research and education sectors in Africa present huge challenges, yet within these are vast opportunities. Quality Assurance is typically a huge concern across these sectors.
"The question is how and how well prepared are manufacturers and service providers structured to avail existing and emerging technologies to meet/address these challenges?"
As a frontier market and the next emerging market, Africa is a continent that major multinational firms cannot afford to ignore. African societies exhibit unparalleled dynamism, challenging and changing attitudes and attributes. This is a market ripe for picking by business and it is imperative that major manufacturing companies become present on the ground in partnership with locally based organisations to developing the market, shaping the models to be adopted, turning the potential into momentum and ultimately meeting the present challenges of the continent and shaping its future.
The health care, scientific research and education sectors, like any other sector in the economies, are critical to unlocking the potential. Most African countries experience perennial and perpetual chronic challenges in the healthcare delivery systems, scientific research and science education sectors. While this situation is a critical and dire in some cases, it presents tremendous opportunities for pro-active industry players who offer simple, robust, reliable and cost effective solutions.
It is on the backdrop of these, that we, as TIKVAH, have set our sights on becoming the catalyst and service specialists in offering practical solutions which enhance capabilities for all industry players to reap the benefits of doing business in Africa, whilst offering exceptional service satisfaction for the end users as we deliver our specialty services in healthcare, scientific research as well as science education.
