TY - CHAP U1 - Buchbeitrag A1 - von Carlowitz, Philipp ED - Schmidt, Thomas ED - Pfaffenberger, Kay ED - Liebing, Stefan T1 - Entrepreneurship and start-ups in Africa : The role in African business of German companies T2 - Practical handbook business in Africa N2 - Entrepreneurship plays a role both for the development of African countries and for foreign companies with market entry plans. The infrastructural and institutional conditions for entrepreneurship are still difficult, but the advancing digitization leads to an increasingly active start-up scene in many African countries. There is still a mismatch between the areas where start-ups are created and the areas where foreign companies are looking for partners for market entry. Thus, despite positive developments in entrepreneurship, it remains difficult to find suitable partners in the foreseeable future.
