Image by Tunde Buremo

The 10 in Five  agenda by Conduit Group is a bold initiative designed to raise $10 billion for 10 sectors within five years or less to support and drive transformational projects across Africa.

 

Focused on key sectors like infrastructure, technology, agriculture, and renewable energy, the agenda aims to create sustainable growth, unlock economic potential, and improve living standards on the continent.

 

Through strategic investments and partnerships bolstered by efficient management, Conduit Group seeks to catalyse change and accelerate Africa’s development on a global scale.

We have carefully chosen 10 critical sectors.

The sectors showed here are overviews of the larger case for investment in Africa.

  • Checking Lettuce Growth

    Agriculture remains a cornerstone of Africa’s economy, employing over 60% of the population and contributing significantly to GDP in many countries. However, the sector is still largely underdeveloped, with low productivity and insufficient infrastructure limiting its potential.

    Africa’s telecom sector has seen remarkable growth over the past decade, driven by increasing mobile penetration and expanding internet access. However, there remains significant untapped potential, particularly in rural areas and in terms of high-speed internet infrastructure.

    Africa’s financial sector is rapidly evolving, fueled by the rise of digital banking, mobile money, and fintech innovations. Despite this, much of the continent remains underbanked, with a large population lacking access to formal financial services, presenting substantial growth potential.

    Africa’s infrastructure deficit remains one of the most significant barriers to economic growth and development. The continent requires extensive investment in transportation, energy, and urban infrastructure to meet the demands of its growing population and accelerate industrialisation.

    Africa’s energy sector faces both immense challenges and significant growth potential. While the continent is rich in natural resources, it remains energy-poor, with over 600 million people lacking access to electricity. There is a growing demand for reliable, affordable, and clean energy solutions to drive industrialization and improve living standards.

  • Medical Consultation

    Africa’s healthcare sector faces numerous challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, a shortage of healthcare professionals, and limited access to essential services, especially in rural areas. However, rising healthcare demand driven by population growth, urbanization, and a burgeoning middle class presents significant opportunities for investment and innovation.

    Security is a critical challenge for Africa’s sustainable development, with issues ranging from political instability and insurgencies to cyber threats and rising urban crime. Effective investment in security infrastructure, technology, and capacity building can foster a stable environment conducive to economic growth and investment.

    Manufacturing is a critical sector for Africa’s economic transformation, offering opportunities to diversify economies, create jobs, and reduce reliance on raw material exports. Despite significant potential, the sector remains underdeveloped, hampered by infrastructure deficits, limited technology, and fragmented supply chains. However, trends such as urbanization, rising domestic demand, and global interest in African markets present exciting opportunities.

    Africa’s information technology (IT) sector is rapidly growing, driven by increasing internet access, mobile phone usage, and a rising digital-savvy population. IT is emerging as a catalyst for innovation across industries such as finance, healthcare, agriculture, and education. There are vast opportunities for investment in digital infrastructure, tech startups, Artificial Intelligence and software development.

    Africa’s entertainment industry is booming, driven by a young, dynamic population, increasing internet access, and rising global interest in African music, film, fashion, and culture. The sector offers tremendous opportunities for investment in content production, digital platforms, and distribution channels.

With $10 Billion, we can create a $1.5 Trillion African Ecosystem.
