    At Verdant Capital I’ve had the privilege of working on some truly fascinating projects, and this post highlights one of the most compelling trends I’ve observed in my career so far. I strongly encourage you to watch until the end of the video; there’s a powerful remark about the potential of local and regional players from Africa expanding into global markets like the US and Europe. What strikes me most is how this shift challenges historical narratives. For so long, the global African South hasn’t been widely recognised as a driver of tech solutions for the global North. But today, we’re seeing African innovations not only entering these markets but thriving as leaders. It’s important to emphasise that we don’t need to measure the value of African companies by global Northern standards. A pan-African lens is essential in assessing their impact. That said, there’s something profoundly exciting about African solutions penetrating global markets in ways that defy historical precedents. In my experience at Verdant, I’ve been fortunate to witness South African tech solutions not just being sold internationally, but emerging as market players and leaders. It’s a reminder of the immense potential we have as a continent—not just to compete, but to lead.
