The document discusses the opportunities and challenges of digital transformation in Africa. It notes that infrastructure has failed systematically in many African countries and only 17 of Nigeria's 79 power stations are working. The population of Africa is expected to double to 2 billion by 2050 but technologies and growth are not keeping pace with infrastructure. However, consumer industries are expected to grow by $400 billion by 2020. The document discusses opportunities in coastal and landlocked areas from fiber, mobile technologies, education apps, and entrepreneurship to connect people across Africa.

only 17 are working. All of this increases political risk.
Some African countries could collapse by 2020 unless they can power
an industrial base."
