Welcome to your next unforgettable keynote performance
Welcome to AfriCAN,
the Can-Do Continent
Talent shortages. Supply chain challenges. Need to diversify suppliers and sourcing. Slowing growth. Economic downturn. The challenges businesses face, continue to mount.
A solution can be found in the most unexpected of places: Africa.
Home to unprecedented business growth, twenty percent of the world’s population, sixty percent of the world’s arable land, over half of the world’s 1.2 billion mobile money accounts, and the largest pool of working age talent, Africa offers massive opportunities for growth and success.
Come along as Dr. De Vries introduces audiences to the Africa she’s gotten to know over the past thirty years, going beyond the imagery of the past to explore, embrace and invest in a twenty-first century continent.
Welcome to AfriCAN – the can-do continent.
Dr. Deanne delivers in-person and virtual keynotes
She speaks at events for
corporations
investors
non-profits
government organizations
universities and students
Dr. Deanne’s presence and speaking have a transformative impact on audiences.
On stages across the globe from WEF Africa to the Economist and TEDxWomen, she helps audiences discover not only why now is the time to invest in Africa but how to go about investing in AfriCAN – the can-do continent.
Think of her as your guide to building thriving businesses that capitalize on the African growth story…because it’s not just safaris that need a guide.
Take a
front row seat and listen along!
Dr. Deanne is a great fit for:
Audiences looking beyond the preconceived beliefs about doing business in Africa to discover the realities and opportunities on the ground
Visionary top leadership teams seeking new growth opportunities that grow their bottom line, offer sustainable growth and improve the communities in which they work
Start-ups and large multinationals looking for which sector(s) have emerging and untapped business opportunities
Investors who want to gain an understanding about the real (versus perceived) risks and challenges so they can make a greater impact with their funds
Business leaders who are keen to learn about the politics and power structures, the culture and the people; all of which are just as important to understand as is the business environment in Africa
