The African Diaspora’s women entrepreneurs are returning home to build their businesses

As global economies are seeing their fair share of challenges right now, Africa’s growing business opportunities and strong economic growth are not only catching the attention of investors and big businesses. It seems the continent is becoming an attractive startup destination for women entrepreneurs in the African Diaspora too. This growing sense of optimism in Africa’s economic potential is backed up by some strong facts and figures. The IMF predicts that seven of the world's fastest-growing economies over the next five years will be in Africa; Ethiopia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Congo, Ghana, Zambia and Nigeria, are all expected to expand by more than 6% a year. And women entrepreneurs who have been living and working abroad are increasingly looking to return and contribute to the continent’s future socio economic success story. They come armed with a wealth of experience, global insights, specialist business building skills, and above all plenty of passion. The future looks bright for women-led businesses across the Continent.
