The President of France, Mr. Emmanuel Macron, has announced a total of 1 billion euro investment fund for private sector players in Africa, to enable them scale up their business enterprises. The fund would anchor an initiative to gather African and Europeans titles and business players to build a business platform, to develop, leverage and accelerate the private sector. President Macron shared this as the special guest at an interactive business forum hosted by the Tony Elumelu Foundation in Lagos.

He also challenged young African entrepreneurs from the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurs, reminding them that “If you believe in your projects: just do it right now”. Yes indeed: remember the Fedex founder piece.
