"We believe that the continent has huge potential for growth; it has the youngest population in the world, many of whom are early adopters of digital tools. We want to help the continent to overcome many of its reported challenges and we think we have the capacity to do it in conjunction with our partners, such as governments and innovative entrepreneurs. We are already making some inroads, with our products supporting an estimated $16bn in economic activity across Sub-Saharan Africa in 2023. Our products are more than tools, they are engines for economic growth. 70% of businesses in the region have already indicated that our tools are crucial to their operations but we want to see more progress, at a faster speed."
