Africa is virgin and it is full of of natural resources, among others, its mere Geo-climatic location is exceedingly strategic in terms of business. But, What I want to stress and underline is the intensity of the solar energy which I wish to call as the most promising and emerging opportunity in terms of production. I foresee in 5-10 years Africa will supersede and lead the world in manufacturing because of solar energy which will replace all other forms of fuel which I compare to the dotcom of the nineties. Imagine electricity, computers and all all other soft accessories operated by solar energy.
