Ahmed El Alfi, Sawari Ventures on the Main Stage Inspire.

Watch the presentation by Ahmed El Alfi, Founder and Chairman of Sawari Ventures, on the Main Stage Inspire, at Africa Forward | Inspire & Connect, an event co-organised by Bpifrance. Ahmed El Alfi argues that Africa must shift from an extractive economy to a creative one to prevent the loss of its best talent. By fostering "brain circulation" through strategic partnerships with Europe, African entrepreneurs can gain the knowledge and capital necessary to build world-class companies at home. He believes that with intentional design rather than accidental success, these innovative startups can transform the continent's economic future.
