Startups across Africa are helping to strengthen collaborations among African states even as they provide unique solutions to address economic and social problems in their respective countries, a new report by La French Tech and AfricaCom has submitted.  The report is titled: ‘Collaboration, co-operation and co-creation.’

 

While African countries struggle with building economic bridges at regional and sub-regional levels, startups are already looking across borders to collaborate.  The results are slowing coming out even as the startups widen the reach for their solutions.

 

From data-driven insights for SMEs and e-Commerce platforms for the Diaspora, to food aid solutions and pioneering prenatal technology, La French Tech and AfricaCom explore how cross-border collaboration has successfully facilitated economic development and social empowerment on the African continent.
