Yesterday the meeting "#Africa's development dynamic report 2019"In Milan, at Assolombarda. Talking about it was Roberto Da Rin of “Sole24Ore”. The data that will be announced in the Report available in a few weeks have been anticipated. The Report is the result of a partnership between the African Union and the OECD. But before the economic data, the central theme concerns the enhancement of a large region. Carlo Bonomi, president of Assolombarda, referring to political decision-makers, explained that "few realize that since 2000 the PII in Africa has more than tripled, with an average annual growth rate of 4,6% compared to 7,2, 2,8% of Asian locomotives, XNUMX% of Latin America ». 

Strong Asian leadership globalization has created gray areas that Bonomi enuclea in three areas: "Improving quality and safety at work, a less unequal distribution of income and low purchasing power in African countries. Essential requirements for the social sustainability of the continent's economic development". 

The growth of Africa is expected, for 2019, of 3,6%. Domestic demand is growing by 6,7% and is moving towards processed products. This translates into an important opportunity for Italian companies, capable of expanding beyond the Mediterranean. The objective is to encourage and encourage cooperation between Italian and African companies. Even with on-site training and training. 

The report uses the lessons learned in 5 African regions (central, eastern, northern, southern and western) to address and share good practices. 

The central points are 3: providing commercial services to business clusters, developing regional production systems and improving the ability of exporting companies to grow in rapidly changing markets.

In other words, encourage the establishment of an economic fabric on the spot and facilitate dialogue between Italian and African companies.

New technologies play a crucial role. "Internet, renewable energies and rural electrification the new industrial revolution driven by elements such as robotics, artificial intelligence and additive manufacturing open for Africa - according to Moratti - an unimaginable scenario compared to twenty years ago".
