The “Observatoire Europe-Afrique 2030” promotes the
“Champions of Green Industrialization in Africa”
The facts
Across Africa, there is a huge amount of expenses in green industries, such as wind farms, solar farms, railways, electric bicycles, waste recycling units……
However, almost all this equipment is imported from China, Europe, North America and Japan.
If nothing changes, hundreds of billions of euros will be spent in imported equipment in Africa over the next twenty years.
To remedy this aberration, we need to break with the current “all-imported” economic model.
The Champions
A growing number of African companies are playing a pioneering role, showing the way towards sustainable industrialisation in African countries.
They are demonstrating that it is possible to manufacture on African soil while remaining competitive with imported manufactured products.
We call “Champion” any enterprise which has invested green equipment manufacturing on the African soil.
It is important to publicize and promote these Champions.
