  1. Michel Gravel, Ph. D. TheEconomic Power of ENERGY, MULTIMEDIAandEDUCATION
  2. The Economist has based its verdict on many factors such as the growth of a GNP which is faster and more stable than the rest of the world. Whereas the population growth in Asia is gradually declining, Africa is expected to double within the next 50 years and the middle class is expected to triple in the next 30 years. Ten years ago, the magazine The Economist wrote that Africa was “hopeless”. In its December edition, they declared, loud and clear: Africa is booming.
  3. THE AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK If recent trends continue, Africa will play an increasingly important role in the global economy. By 2040, the continent will be home to the world’s largest working-age population. The AfDB’s private sector operations cover a broad range. Power – Hydro, wind, thermal, solar Transport – Ports, roads, airports, rail Telecoms – Fibre cable, satellite, telephony Oil & Gas – Exploration, extraction, refining, pipelines Mining – Extraction, refining, smelting Manufacturing – Cement, fertilizers Agribusiness – Sugar, oils, agro-energy, fishing Hospitality – Hotels Health & Education – Hospitals, schools Financial sector – Banks, insurance, leasing, microfinance
  4. We will talk about three of the fastest growing sectors in the next decade ENERGY MULTI-MEDIA and EDUCATION Importantly the combinedeffect of thesethreesectors
  5. E N E R G Y Green techaccessibility: Windmills Solar Thermic Hydro Couplingwithtraditional networks or not A major fact in the near future: Lowercost and the combination of energyfromdifferent sources The opportunity: The possibility of creating a lot of small areas of developmentwithindependenergy
  6. In the last 10 years, we have seen an explosion of communication via Internet and the cellular phone (especially in Asia and Africa). MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY We are nowfacedwith a democraticrevolutionregardingaccess of information, diffusion, production and knowledge. The virtual world has landed.
