La Vanguardia MAGAZINE recently published an article called Africa's Drive (El Empuje de África) about IESE Business School's "PanAfrican Week" in Barcelona, after interviewing some of the participants from Kenya and Nigeria:
Now is the time for Africa’s local entrepreneurs. With first-hand knowledge of the local reality, but with a level of training which goes beyond their frontiers, they feel that they are now the protagonists and are convinced their ideas can create value and change a script full of bureaucracy, corruption and paternalism.
The six African entrepreneurs in a recess of the conference they are attending at Barcelona’s IESE Business School. “There is no development without companies, and that is why the only way to improve Africa is to create businesses which generate employment. Politicians have proved they are incapable of it; it is now up to us African entrepreneurs to demonstrate that we can create winning businesses which can make Africa win."
IESE is a proud Member of GBSN. The article has now been translated into English.
