understanding the significance

our why: looking at the stats

50%

of Africa’s GDP is contributed by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), which also comprise more than 90% of all businesses across the continent and are responsible for over 80% of its employment.

22%

of Africa’s working-age population are starting new businesses, marking the highest rate of any region in the world. This showcases the incredible entrepreneurial spirit and drive present across the continent.

These compelling numbers underscore the immense dynamism and untapped potential within Africa’s entrepreneurial landscape. They reveal not just a statistical prevalence of small and medium businesses, but a powerful engine driving job creation, economic growth, and innovation across the continent.

At Fio Africaneurs, we see these figures as a clear call to action. They highlight why our work is so crucial: to support, connect, and empower the very individuals and businesses that are shaping Africa’s present and forging its prosperous future. By recognising and nurturing this spirit, we can truly unlock the continent’s vast capabilities and ensure a resilient economic trajectory for all.

This is where bold entrepreneurs unite.
