Africa Unleashed: Report Series
Africa’s promise has long been acknowledged; but the gap between the continent and the rest of the world continues to widen. Despite decades of reforms and growing investor interest, Africa attracts less than 5% of global FDI and trade. In a world of shifting geopolitics, protectionism, and climate urgency, incremental change is no longer enough. BCG’s Africa Report Series responds to this critical inflection point. It explores how Africa can navigate systemic complexity to unlock transformative opportunity across strategic topics including power, minerals, talent, AI, trade; grounded in data and local insight. This is not another diagnosis, but a call to act. The time to unleash Africa’s potential is now.
