Who are they? To find out, we invite you to browse through the rankings in their entirety, before diving deeper into the regional and sectoral rankings.
And because behind the numbers, there are men and women, decisions, successes and failures, we also invite you, through our analysis, interviews and portraits, to go deep into the strategy of the largest companies in Africa.
Understand Africa's tomorrow... today
We believe that Africa is poorly represented, and badly under-estimated. Beyond the vast opportunity manifest in African markets, we highlight people who make a difference; leaders turning the tide, youth driving change, and an indefatigable business community. That is what we believe will change the continent, and that is what we report on. With hard-hitting investigations, innovative analysis and deep dives into countries and sectors, The Africa Report delivers the insight you need.
