African Industry Reports: A gateway to business insights in the knowledge economy
26 Oct 2023
In the ever-evolving global landscape, businesses in Africa are navigating a profound transformation towards a knowledge-driven economy. A knowledge-based economy refers to an economic system in which knowledge and intellectual capital are the primary drivers of economic growth and development. According to social scientists, the new currency of value is information and data – transcending traditional commodities.
Increased innovation and technology can lead to greater productivity, improved resource access, better market access, and more efficient production. It can also improve living standards for the population and create new and sustainable jobs.
“To help businesses adapt to the challenges and seize the opportunities of the knowledge economy, African Industry Reports have emerged as a valuable resource,” says Sabinet Head of Product, Sanet Vos. “As a prominent information services provider in Africa, we are proud to be able to offer these reports in partnership with Who Owns Whom, an independent research organisation dedicated to producing exceptional, original research. This partnership is a demonstration of Sabinet’s ongoing commitment to collaboration and sharing of resources to accomplish a mutual goal.”
Experts advise African countries to promote technology and digitisation in all sectors of the economy to increase efficiency, productivity, and innovation. This includes initiatives such as developing national digital strategies and promoting e-commerce and digital services. One such digital service is African Industry Reports, available on the Sabinet Discover platform. The reports are a valuable resource that promises to elevate how businesses access insights in Africa. This comprehensive collection of data-driven reports provides invaluable intelligence on various industries, market trends, and opportunities throughout the continent.
Addressing the knowledge economy challenges
South Africa, Kenya, Egypt, Rwanda, and Morocco are examples of African countries’ progress in shifting to a knowledge-based economy. Still, many other African countries are taking steps in the same direction at different paces and stages. This is because shifting to a knowledge-based economy is a complex and long-term process requiring multiple strategies and actions.
According to the World Bank, to leap to a knowledge-based economy, African countries and businesses must be prepared to invest significantly in infrastructure, education, and training. They also need to ensure that their policies and regulations are conducive to fostering innovation and creativity. As Africa’s business landscape undergoes this seismic shift, companies face a unique set of challenges. Access to reliable information, data gaps, competition with global players, and navigating complex regulatory landscapes are among the hurdles that businesses must overcome.
