Africa is rapidly rising as an important market full of economic opportunities as a whole. This is a very good time to go to Africa as a businessman as opportunities are abundant and the market allows entry for newcomers.

It has such a massive abundance of natural resources and such. Seeing a developed Africa would definitely be interesting- with such a large amount of coast facing the New World I can imagine that the trade between the Americas and Africa would be pretty impressive.

Its far too early to speak of a developed Africa, also depends on what you mean by developed. I think there will continue to be huge wealth discrepancies in Africa as well as many social problems, but undoubtedly, many African states have reached a stage where they can afford to provide some stability and tremendous economic growth as well. I think it is possible that the future Africa may somewhat resemble today's SE Asia, which is still not 1st world, and has huge wealth discrepancies, and poverty, but also has tremendous opportunities and maturing industries.

Either way, I think for a sharp, adaptible entrepreneur, Africa presents many opportunities because many of its lower tier industries are not dominated by long time market players, and thus with less capital, you can establish a significant presence.

I heard of an entrepreneur from one of my ancestral provinces in Eastern China who went to Malawi with funds scraped from his villagers with no clue as to what Africa was like, decided it was hot so he opeed an ice cream factory and ended up becoming the dominant ice cream producer in the region and one of the most influential businessmen there within a scope of ten years. That's impossible in a developed country, but if you have maybe $50,000 in capital and can sense opportunities, you can accomplish these things in Africa where lower tier industries provide a great deal of growth and lower threshholds of entry for businessmen.

Michael Stock is pursuing an extreme version of that basic investor’s principle: Get in early. He’s just finished building a resort on the coast of war-torn Mogadishu, Somalia.

I hope it all goes as planned!

I hope so.

It is a big step from the images presented by the 1993 movie Black Hawk Down to the idea of Mogadishu as a holiday resort.

Well believe it or not work is underway on the development of a multi-million dollar beach resort in Mogadishu with this being a prominent indicator of the building boom underway there. - See more at: http://www.portstrategy.com/news101/....qltqH1fa.dpuf

I truly hope they will all go back.

Good.. let's help the new Somalia by sending some spare Somali's - I am sure they will face a serious labour shortage.

Go Africa! Be developed so that the African diaspora in Latin-America and Europe will return to the continent.
