The e-Conomy Africa 2020 report, a unique collaboration between IFC and Google, sheds light on the great potential of Africa\u2019s Internet economy, the promising tech entrepreneurs driving innovation, and the growing tech talent across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Analysis in the report finds that Africa\u2019s Internet economy has the potential to reach $180 billion by 2025, accounting for 5.2% of the continent\u2019s gross domestic product (GDP).
